FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for newborns?

While this specific size is for 3-5 months, DILLING offers merino wool/silk leggings in smaller sizes (e.g., 0-3 months) suitable for newborns. Always check the size guide for the best fit.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need frequent washing. Airing them out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when visibly soiled or after several wears, following the care instructions.

Can these leggings be worn in all seasons?

Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool and silk make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer.

Why is the blend of merino wool and silk beneficial?

The combination offers the best of both worlds: merino wool's warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking, enhanced by the exceptional softness and smooth feel of silk, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

What does 'organic' merino wool mean?

Organic merino wool comes from sheep raised under strict organic farming standards, meaning no harmful pesticides or chemicals are used in grazing or wool processing.

How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?

Look for detergents specifically labeled for wool or delicates. These are typically pH-neutral and free from harsh chemicals, enzymes, or bleach that can damage wool fibers.

What are the available sizes?

These leggings are available in various infant sizes, including 0-3, 3-5, 6-9, 9-12, and 18-24 months, ensuring a good fit as your baby grows.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel stiff after washing

This can happen with natural fibers. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the wash cycle is delicate. For merino wool, occasional re-lanolizing can restore softness, though the silk blend usually helps prevent this.

Elastic waistband seems loose

Check that the leggings are not stretched out from improper drying. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. If the issue persists, ensure the size is correct for the baby.

Baby seems to be too warm or too cool

Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. Ensure the leggings are used as a base layer and adjust outer layers accordingly. The fabric works best when regulating against the skin.

Pros and Cons

  • Extremely soft and gentle on sensitive baby skin
  • Excellent natural temperature regulation for year-round comfort
  • Breathable and moisture-wicking properties keep baby dry
  • Durable and comfortable fit that allows for easy movement
  • Made from high-quality, sustainable natural fibers

Cons

  • Requires specific care instructions (hand wash or delicate cycle)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These leggings are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. No assembly or setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed as a versatile base layer for infants, these leggings pair well with bodysuits, shirts, and outerwear. They are suitable for babies aged 3-5 months, with other sizes available for a proper fit.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of the merino wool and silk blend:

  1. Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate/wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can damage the natural fibers.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Consider using moth repellents for long-term storage.
