Product Information
Full details
These DILLING baby merino wool fleece trousers are designed for infants seeking soft, comfortable, and naturally warm apparel. The key benefit is their dual use as cozy homewear or an effective warming mid-layer for outdoor activities. A consideration is that 100% natural wool may show changes in appearance over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact its insulating properties. The trousers feature a brushed plush surface inside and out, with elastic ribbing at the ankles to help seal out cold air.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold winter days?
These trousers provide excellent warmth as a mid-layer or for milder cool days. For extremely cold winter conditions, they are best used as a warming layer in conjunction with other insulating garments.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size guide for DILLING infant wear. The provided size is UK 6-9 months. These trousers are designed for a comfortable fit, and the elasticated ankles offer some flexibility.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can contain enzymes that may damage the delicate merino wool fibers over time.
What does it mean if the wool frays?
Fraying is a natural characteristic of 100% natural wool fibers when subjected to friction from wear and washing. It does not affect the wool's ability to insulate or its natural properties.
How often should I wash these trousers?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Airing out the garment between wears can help refresh it. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
DILLING uses fine merino wool that is brushed for a soft, plush feel. It is generally not itchy and is considered one of the softest wool types, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin.
Troubleshooting
Trousers appear to be shrinking
Merino wool can be sensitive to high heat. Ensure you are washing on a cool wool cycle (30-40°C) and air drying. Avoid tumble drying at all costs.
Fraying is becoming noticeable
Slight fraying is natural for 100% wool. For excessive fraying, ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wash cycle. Avoid harsh agitation.
Child feels cold while wearing
Ensure the trousers are functioning as a mid-layer if needed. Check that the elasticated ankles are properly sealed. In very cold conditions, additional layers may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at 30-40°C (86-104°F). Use a wool detergent for best results.
