Product Information
Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Terry One-Piece is designed for infants needing a soft, comfortable, and temperature-regulating mid-layer. Its key benefit is keeping your baby warm and comfortable in varying temperatures due to the natural properties of merino wool. A potential consideration is that the wool terry is a thicker quality, making it most suitable as a mid-layer rather than a base layer in very warm conditions. This one-piece features organic merino wool, a zip closure for easy changes, and elasticated cuffs and ankles to seal in warmth.

FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, temperature-regulating, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin. It keeps babies warm without overheating and is gentle even for newborns.
How thick is the wool terry fabric?
The wool terry is described as a slightly thicker quality compared to DILLING's other wool fabrics, designed to be extra soft and comfortable, particularly suitable for mid-layer garments.
Can this one-piece be worn as a base layer?
While it can function as a base layer, its thicker wool terry quality makes it particularly well-suited as a mid-layer, offering more warmth. For very warm conditions, a thinner base layer might be preferred.
How do I wash and care for this garment?
Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C with a wool detergent. Do not bleach, use fabric softener, or tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
Is the zip closure safe for baby?
The zip runs along one leg, designed for ease of use. Ensure the zipper is fully closed and check for any trapped fabric or skin to ensure safety and comfort.
What is the purpose of the elasticated cuffs and ankles?
The elastic ribbing at the wrists and ankles creates a snug fit, helping to keep the garment in place and prevent unwanted cold air from entering, thus maintaining warmth.
Does merino wool retain odor?
No, merino wool has natural antibacterial properties that help resist odor buildup, meaning the garment can be worn multiple times between washes if aired out.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels stiff after washing.
This can happen with merino wool. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. A gentle rinse with wool conditioner or a light steam iron can help restore softness.
Baby seems too warm or too cool.
Adjust the number of layers underneath or over the one-piece. Merino wool regulates temperature, but the overall layering system is key. Ensure the garment is not too tight, which can impede airflow.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth while operating. If it still catches, check for any fabric trapped in the zipper. A small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.
Shrinkage after washing.
Always wash on a cold wool cycle and avoid high heat in washing or drying. If minor shrinkage occurs, lay flat and gently reshape while damp.
