FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator. These leggings provide warmth and can be layered under additional clothing for very cold conditions.
How do I know if the size is correct?
The size 7-8 corresponds to a UK children's size range. Please refer to DILLING's sizing chart for precise measurements to ensure the best fit for your child.
Can these leggings be worn directly against the skin?
Absolutely. The 100% organic merino wool is exceptionally soft and designed to be worn comfortably as a base layer directly against the skin, even for sensitive children.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to an extent. Spot clean minor stains and air out the leggings between wears. Wash only when necessary using the recommended wool program.
Will the elastic waistband stretch out over time?
The elastic waistband is designed for comfort and durability. Proper care, as outlined in the care instructions, will help maintain its elasticity.
Can these leggings be bleached or tumble dried?
No, bleach and tumble drying should be avoided. These methods can damage the delicate merino wool fibers and compromise their natural properties.
Troubleshooting
Leggings lose shape after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a wool wash cycle at 30°C or lower. Avoid machine drying and reshape the garment while damp before laying it flat to dry.
Skin irritation despite merino wool.
While rare, ensure the garment is properly rinsed after washing to remove any detergent residue. Check that no other layers are causing friction or irritation.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially with initial wear and washing. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid excessive friction. Use a fabric comb for pilling if it becomes significant.
