Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Merino Wool Fleece Suit is designed for infants and crawling toddlers seeking ultimate warmth and comfort. Its key benefit is the exceptional thermal regulation and softness of merino wool, ideal for car seats or outdoor naps. A minor caveat is that natural wool materials may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, though this does not affect their insulating properties. The suit features a plush, brushed surface, ribbed cuffs for a secure fit, large natural buttons, and a protective hood.

FAQs
What makes merino wool different from regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than traditional wool, making them softer, less itchy, and better at wicking moisture. It also offers excellent thermal regulation, keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat.
How often should I wash this suit?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Wash when visibly soiled or when the natural freshness diminishes. Airing out the garment can often refresh it.
Can I use a regular laundry detergent?
It is strongly recommended to use a wool-specific detergent. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool, damaging its fibers and reducing its insulating properties.
What does 'unblended, natural material' mean for the suit?
It means the suit is made purely from merino wool without synthetic fibers mixed in. This ensures all the natural benefits of wool, but also means it behaves like natural wool – it may change appearance slightly with use and washing.
How do I ensure the best fit for my baby?
Check the size guide carefully before purchasing. The ribbed cuffs on the hands and feet are designed to provide a secure fit and allow for some growth, but ensure the main body of the suit is the correct length and width.
Is this suit suitable for newborns?
Yes, the suit is available in smaller sizes suitable for infants, including newborns. The soft merino wool is gentle on sensitive newborn skin, and the design provides essential warmth.
What should I do if the suit loses its shape after washing?
Gently reshape the garment while it is still damp after washing. Lay it flat to dry, smoothing it out to help it retain its original shape. Avoid wringing or stretching the wet garment.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels less soft after washing.
This is a natural characteristic of pure wool. Gently brush the surface after drying to restore softness. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners.
Fraying or pilling on the surface.
Some pilling and fraying are normal for unblended, natural wool as it is worn and washed. This does not affect the insulating properties. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh friction can minimize this.
Suit seems too warm for indoor use.
Merino wool is breathable and temperature-regulating, but it is very warm. Consider layering or using the suit primarily for outdoor or cooler indoor environments. You can also partially unzip for ventilation.
