FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for very sensitive skin?

Yes, they are made from 100% organic merino wool, which is known for its softness and is very gentle on sensitive skin. The fine fibers minimize irritation.

Can these leggings be worn all year round?

Absolutely. Merino wool's thermoregulating properties allow it to keep children warm in cooler weather and cool them down when it's warmer, making them suitable for all seasons.

How do I wash my child's merino wool leggings?

Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.

What does the Nordic Swan Ecolabel certification mean?

This certification indicates that the product and its production process meet strict environmental and health standards. The dyehouse uses no harmful chemicals or heavy metals.

Can these leggings be used as base layers for skiing?

Yes, their thermoregulating and moisture-wicking properties make them an excellent choice for a base layer to keep children warm and dry during winter sports.

What is the fit like?

The leggings have a close, comfortable fit with an elastic waistband. They are designed to provide freedom of movement without being too tight.

Are these leggings suitable for machine drying?

No, tumble drying is not recommended as it can damage the wool fibers and cause shrinkage. They should be laid flat to dry.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Ensure you have selected the correct size and that the leggings are not too tight. While merino wool is very soft, improper fit can sometimes cause irritation. Check care label to ensure proper washing has been done.

Shrinkage after washing

Avoid washing at high temperatures and do not tumble dry. Always follow the 30°C wool cycle and lay flat to dry. If shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the garment while damp.

Pilling on fabric

Some minor pilling is natural with wool. You can remove pills carefully with a fabric shaver or by gently picking them off. Reduce friction with other garments during washing.

Elastic waistband feels loose

Ensure the care instructions have been followed precisely, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods, as heat can degrade elastic. If the issue persists after proper care, contact customer support.

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

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates.
  2. Detergent: Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh chemicals, as they can damage the wool fibers.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, ideally while the garment is slightly damp.
  5. Washing Frequency: While wool is naturally odor-resistant, wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers.
