FAQs
What makes merino wool special for children's clothing?
Merino wool naturally regulates body temperature, keeping kids warm in the cold and cool in the heat. It's also breathable, moisture-wicking, and naturally odor-resistant, making it very comfortable for active children.
Why are these leggings treated with an enzyme wash?
The enzyme treatment makes the merino wool exceptionally soft against the skin, minimizing any potential for itchiness often associated with wool. It's also an environmentally friendly process.
Can my child wear these leggings year-round?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make these leggings suitable for year-round wear. They can be a warm base layer in winter or breathable bottoms in summer.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING and measure your child's waist and inseam. The ribbed structure provides some flexibility, but selecting the correct size is key for comfort and performance.
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. The combination of fine merino wool and the soft enzyme treatment makes them ideal for children with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
What is the best way to wash merino wool leggings?
Always wash them inside out on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry; lay flat to air dry.
How durable are merino wool leggings for active kids?
Merino wool is surprisingly durable and resilient. The ribbed structure adds to the flexibility and strength. While suitable for active play, avoiding excessive abrasion on rough surfaces will prolong their life.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel scratchy after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle (max 30°C). Avoid fabric softeners, which can damage wool fibers. Lay flat to dry completely.
Leggings appear to have shrunk.
Merino wool is sensitive to heat. Check that the washing and drying methods followed the care instructions precisely. Avoid tumble drying and high heat ironing. If shrinkage is significant, consider purchasing the next size up for future purchases.
Lace trim is snagged or damaged.
Handle the lace trim gently during washing and drying. If a minor snag occurs, try to carefully pull it back into place. For significant damage, repair might be necessary.
Leggings losing elasticity.
Avoid over-stretching the fabric during wear or washing. Ensure they are dried flat rather than hung, which can stretch the fibers when wet. Proper care will help maintain elasticity.
