FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for a newborn?
The size 18-24 months specified is for older babies. DILLING offers this style in smaller sizes suitable for newborns and younger infants, indicated by their respective size ranges.
How does merino wool keep my baby warm?
Merino wool has natural insulating properties. The crimp of the wool fibres traps air, creating a layer of insulation that keeps body heat in. It also wicks away moisture, preventing chilling from sweat.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
These leggings are best suited for colder seasons due to their excellent insulating properties. While merino wool is breathable, they may be too warm for very hot summer days.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to some extent. You can wash them as needed, but frequent washing isn't always necessary. Airing them out between wears can help refresh the garment.
Is the geometric pattern durable?
Yes, the pattern is created through a special knitting technique, making it an integral part of the fabric rather than a print. It is designed to be durable and withstand regular wear and washing.
Where are these leggings made?
DILLING products, including these merino wool leggings, are manufactured in their own factory in Europe.
Troubleshooting
Leggings appear to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a cold or 30°C wool cycle. Avoid tumble drying. If minor shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the fabric while damp.
Wool fibres feel rough or scratchy.
Merino wool is naturally soft, but initial wear and proper washing can enhance softness. Ensure you are using a gentle wool detergent and avoid harsh chemicals. Over time and with correct care, the fabric should become softer.
Pattern appears faded.
Avoid washing in hot water and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Gentle washing and drying according to care instructions should preserve the pattern's vibrancy.
