FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very sensitive skin?
Yes, these leggings are made from 100% soft Merino wool, which is known for its hypoallergenic properties and is gentle on sensitive skin.
How do I wash these Merino wool leggings?
Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Do not tumble dry; lay flat to air dry.
Can these leggings be worn in summer?
Merino wool is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating. While ideal for cooler weather, they can also be comfortable in warmer temperatures as they wick away moisture.
What does 'ribbed fabric' mean for comfort?
The ribbed fabric creates a textured, elastic material that stretches and conforms to the body, allowing for greater freedom of movement and a snug, comfortable fit.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart for children's UK sizes. The size 7-8 typically corresponds to an age range of 7-8 years, but it's best to measure your child's waist and inseam for accuracy.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is strongly recommended to use a wool-specific detergent. Regular detergents can contain harsh chemicals that may damage the delicate Merino wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.
Do these leggings come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, these children's ribbed leggings are available in grey and come in a range of sizes for different age groups. Please check the DILLING product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Some initial stiffness can occur, but the leggings should soften after the first wash. Check that the size is correct, as a too-tight fit can sometimes cause discomfort.
Elastic waistband is too tight
Merino wool is naturally stretchy. If the waistband feels uncomfortable, try gently stretching it by hand. Ensure the size selected is appropriate for the child's measurements.
Leggings have lost their shape
Avoid tumble drying, as heat can cause shrinkage and loss of shape. Always lay Merino wool items flat to dry. If shape is lost, try gently reshaping the garment while damp.
Color has faded
Wash inside out in cold water with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as this can cause fading.
