FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, they are designed for comfort and warmth, making them suitable for everyday wear, especially during cooler seasons, as a layering piece or on their own.
What makes merino wool 'organic'?
Organic merino wool comes from sheep raised on farms that adhere to strict organic farming standards, prohibiting the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers in pasture management.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Refer to the product sizing chart, usually found on the retailer's website. Measure your child's waist and inseam for the best fit. These are designed to be snug as a base layer.
Can these leggings be worn in summer?
Merino wool is breathable and temperature-regulating, so they can be comfortable in mild summer evenings or air-conditioned environments. However, for very hot weather, they might be too warm.
What is the Plasma treatment?
Plasma treatment is an advanced, eco-friendly method used to soften merino wool fibers. It undergoes a controlled process that makes the wool exceptionally soft and comfortable against the skin without compromising its natural properties.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Washing after a few wears or when visibly soiled is generally sufficient. Airing them out can often refresh the garment.
Will the geometric pattern fade?
With proper gentle washing (cold water, wool detergent, no bleach) and avoiding direct high heat during drying or ironing, the pattern should retain its clarity and color.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. The plasma treatment should minimize itchiness, but a sensitive reaction is possible. Wash again with wool detergent.
Shrinkage after washing.
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat. Always wash on a cold/gentle cycle (max 30°C) and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying completely.
Stretched out of shape.
Gently reshape the leggings while damp after washing and lay them flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting.
Pattern looks uneven.
Ensure the garment is laid flat and smoothed out correctly while drying. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by gently pulling the fabric back into place while damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These leggings require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed as children's apparel, they are compatible with most clothing items for layering. They pair well with trousers, skirts, dresses, and outerwear.
Care: To maintain the softness and integrity of the merino wool and the delicate pointelle pattern, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle or wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
- Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent or a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage merino wool fibers and shrink the garment.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool program) inside out. Avoid direct heat on the pattern.
