FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and breathability, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin. It is less likely to cause itching or irritation compared to many other materials.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so you may find you can wear them multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the cold, gentle cycle instructions, to prolong the life of the garment.
Can these leggings be worn all year round?
Absolutely. The temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make these leggings suitable for both warm and cold weather. They keep children warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
What does 'temperature regulating' mean for merino wool?
It means the wool fibers can respond to your body's temperature. They trap air to keep you warm when it's cold and release heat and moisture when you get warm, helping to maintain a comfortable body temperature.
How do the frilled edges affect comfort and wear?
The frilled edges are a decorative detail and are made from the same soft merino wool. They are designed not to be restrictive or uncomfortable for children during normal activity.
What is the benefit of the rib surface?
The subtle rib surface provides a comfortable, snug fit that adapts well to the child's body without being constrictive. It also adds to the garment's flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Leggings appear to have lost their shape
Reshape the leggings gently while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat drying in the future.
Child feels too warm or too cold
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. Ensure the child is not overdressed or underdressed in other layers. Adjusting other clothing layers is key to maximizing the benefits of the merino wool.
Faint odor after wear
Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties. If an odor persists, wash according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Airing out the garment can also help.
