FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very young babies?
Yes, the organic wool and silk blend is incredibly soft and gentle, making it suitable for delicate baby skin. However, ensure the size is appropriate and always supervise young children.
Can these leggings be worn in warm weather?
Yes, merino wool has natural temperature-regulating properties. It is breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps keep children cool and comfortable even in warmer conditions, preventing overheating.
How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?
Look for detergents specifically labeled for 'wool' or 'delicates' that do not contain enzymes or bleach. These are formulated to protect the natural fibers of wool and silk.
What is the main difference between these and 100% merino wool leggings?
The blend with silk adds an extra layer of softness and a smoother feel against the skin, while maintaining the beneficial properties of merino wool like temperature regulation and breathability.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Airing them out between wears can help them stay fresh. Wash when they appear dirty or lose their freshness, following the care instructions.
Do these leggings shrink significantly?
When washed and dried according to the instructions (cool or lukewarm water, no tumble dry), shrinkage is minimal. Excessive heat or agitation during washing and drying can cause wool to shrink.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. The fine merino wool and silk blend is designed to be soft, so itchiness may indicate a detergent residue issue.
Leggings have lost their shape
Avoid high spin cycles and tumble drying. Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay flat to dry. High heat can cause wool to shrink and lose elasticity.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with wool and silk blends, especially with friction. This can often be gently removed with a fabric shaver. Proper care, like washing inside out and avoiding excessive friction, can minimize pilling.
Leggings seem too tight after washing
Merino wool can sometimes tighten slightly when washed. Gently stretch the fabric back to its original shape while it is damp. Avoid hot water washes, which can exacerbate shrinkage.
