Product Information
Full details
These DILLING baby merino wool fleece trousers are designed for infants seeking natural warmth and comfort. Their key benefit is the exceptionally soft, brushed wool fleece that provides excellent insulation without bulk, making them ideal as homewear or a mid-layer. A caveat to note is that, as with all natural wool, the material may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, which is a natural characteristic of unblended wool and does not impact its insulating properties.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for newborns?
These trousers are sized for infants, with the smallest size listed as 6-9 months. Please check the specific size guide for exact measurements to ensure a proper fit for your baby.
How do I wash my merino wool trousers?
Wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry; lay flat to dry.
Will the wool fraying affect the warmth?
No, fraying and pilling are cosmetic changes typical of natural wool. They do not affect the insulating properties or the overall functionality of the garment.
Can these be worn as a base layer?
While they are very soft, they are generally intended as homewear or a warming mid-layer. For a direct base layer, consider thinner merino wool items if a very close fit is desired, though these can also be worn next-to-skin.
What is the benefit of merino wool for babies?
Merino wool is naturally breathable, temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and soft on the skin. It keeps babies warm without overheating and is naturally odor-resistant.
How do the ribbed ankles work?
The elastic ribbing at the ankles creates a snug fit that helps keep out cold air. They are designed to be worn either over or inside boots and socks.
Troubleshooting
Trousers appear to have shrunk after washing
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are washing on a cold or wool setting (max 30°C) and avoid tumble drying. If slight shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the garment while damp.
Fraying or pilling observed on the surface
This is a natural characteristic of unblended, natural wool fibers. It does not impact the warmth or functionality of the garment. Regular wear and washing will contribute to this appearance over time.
Baby seems cold despite wearing trousers
Ensure the trousers are functioning as a mid-layer or outer layer appropriate for the temperature. Check that the ribbed cuffs are snug and not letting in drafts. Consider adding an additional warmer layer if conditions are very cold.
