FAQs
Are these joggers suitable for all seasons?
Yes, merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation. It will help keep your baby warm in cooler weather and comfortable in warmer conditions by wicking away moisture.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, usually based on age and height. The adjustable waistband and ribbed ankles offer some flexibility, but a proper initial fit is best for comfort and wearability.
Why are the knees reinforced?
The extra layer of fabric at the knees is designed to increase durability and resistance to wear, which is crucial for babies who are crawling or learning to stand, as this area experiences the most friction.
Can I machine wash these joggers?
Yes, but only on a very gentle wool cycle with cool water and a wool-specific detergent. Hand washing is generally recommended to extend the life of the garment and preserve its softness.
How often should I wash merino wool joggers?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, so they don't need to be washed after every wear. Airing them out between uses can often be sufficient. Wash when they appear visibly soiled or lose their freshness.
What makes merino wool different from regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than those of regular wool, making them softer, less itchy, and more breathable. It also offers superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
Troubleshooting
Joggers feel stiff after washing.
This can happen if a non-wool detergent or fabric softener was used. Ensure you are using a specialized wool detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Re-washing with a wool-specific detergent and rinsing thoroughly may help.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Pilling is natural for merino wool with friction. You can gently remove pills with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Minimize friction where possible during wear and washing.
Elastic waistband seems too tight or too loose.
Adjust the internal drawstring to achieve the desired tightness. If the elastic itself is too tight, ensure you ordered the correct size. The drawstring can also be used to secure the fit if the elastic alone is not sufficient.
Stains on the joggers.
Treat stains immediately. For fresh stains, gently dab with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, pre-treat with a wool-safe stain remover and then wash according to care instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool joggers:
- Washing: Hand wash or use a gentle machine wash cycle (wool program) with a mild detergent specifically for wool. Wash in cool or lukewarm water (max 30°C).
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat on a towel or drying rack away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Storage: Store folded in a dry place. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the merino wool.
