FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is soft, breathable, and naturally thermoregulating, meaning it helps keep babies warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm. It's also moisture-wicking and naturally odor-resistant, making it comfortable for all-day wear.
Are these leggings truly itch-free?
Yes, these leggings are made from fine organic merino wool fibers, which are significantly softer and thinner than traditional wool, minimizing the risk of itchiness for sensitive baby skin.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the brand, considering your baby's current measurements and age. The size '6-18' UK refers to a range that accommodates growth within that period.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, due to their thermoregulating properties, merino wool leggings are suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler months and breathability in warmer weather.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Wash as needed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so they may not require washing after every single wear, especially if only worn for short periods. Follow the care instructions to preserve the fabric.
What does 'GOTS-certified organic' mean for the wool?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification ensures that the wool is sourced from organic farms and processed according to strict environmental and social criteria, guaranteeing a high standard of organic quality and ethical production.
Can these leggings be layered?
Absolutely. Their soft, breathable nature makes them an excellent base layer under other clothing in colder weather, or they can be worn as comfortable outer leggings in milder conditions.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel scratchy or irritating.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the care instructions. Organic merino wool is naturally soft, so irritation may indicate incorrect washing or a different sensitivity.
Leggings lost shape after washing.
Avoid high spin cycles and tumble drying. Always lay flat to dry, reshaped while damp if necessary. Use a wool or delicate cycle on your washing machine.
Garment shrunk significantly.
Check washing temperature and avoid excessive heat during drying. Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high temperatures or agitated harshly.
