FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating, making it comfortable and safe for babies' sensitive skin. It helps keep them warm in cool conditions and cool in warm conditions.
How often should I wash these wool trousers?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need frequent washing. Washing after every few wears, or when visibly soiled, is generally sufficient. Airing them out between wears can help refresh the fabric.
Will the wool be itchy for my baby?
No, merino wool fibers are much finer than traditional wool, making them exceptionally soft and non-itchy. The brushed fleece finish adds an extra layer of plush comfort.
Can these be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, the soft merino wool fleece is designed to be comfortable against the skin, making them suitable as a base layer or loungewear.
What does 'wool fleece products may change appearance over time and fray' mean?
This means that due to the natural, unblended nature of the wool and the brushing process to create the fleece, the fabric might show some signs of wear, like slight pilling or fuzziness, after repeated use and washing. This is normal and doesn't compromise the wool's insulating or comfort properties.
Are there other colors available for this model?
This specific product is in the 'Purple' color family. DILLING may offer similar merino wool fleece trousers in other colors or styles in different product listings.
What is the best way to dry these trousers?
Always air dry merino wool items flat. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the heat can cause the wool to shrink and damage the fibers.
Troubleshooting
Trousers seem to have shrunk after washing.
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are washing on a cold or wool cycle and air-drying flat. If shrinkage has occurred, gentle stretching while damp might help slightly.
Fraying is noticeable on the surface.
Some pilling or fraying is normal for natural, unblended wool over time. This does not affect the warmth or comfort. Washing inside out and using a wool-specific detergent can help minimize this.
Elastic at the ankles feels too tight or too loose.
The elastic is designed for a snug fit to keep drafts out. If it feels uncomfortable, try gently stretching it out. If it becomes too loose over time, it may indicate significant wear.

Care Instructions:

- Drying: Air dry the trousers flat. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink or damage the wool.
