Product Information
Full details
These DILLING merino wool fleece trousers are designed for children seeking comfort and warmth, acting as excellent homewear or a mid-layer for outdoor activities. The key benefit is their natural temperature regulation and softness, provided by 100% merino wool. A caveat to note is that pure wool products may show changes in appearance over time due to natural material properties, though this does not impact performance. Key features include brushed fleece for enhanced softness, elasticated ankle cuffs for a snug fit, and versatile use for both indoor and outdoor comfort.

FAQs
What makes merino wool different from regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable against the skin. They also have superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
Can these trousers be worn as outerwear?
These trousers are designed as homewear or a warming mid-layer. While they offer warmth, they are not waterproof or windproof, so they are best used under an outer shell in harsh weather conditions.
How often should I wash these trousers?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air them out between wears instead of washing. Wash only when necessary, following the specific care instructions to preserve the wool's quality.
Will the trousers shrink if I wash them?
Washing on a gentle cycle at 30°C and avoiding high heat drying significantly reduces the risk of shrinking. Always follow the care label precisely.
What does it mean that the appearance may change over time?
This refers to natural wear and tear on pure wool. You might notice some pilling or slight changes in texture. This is a characteristic of natural, unblended materials and does not affect the wool's ability to keep you warm and comfortable.
Are these trousers suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the fine fibers of merino wool are generally very soft and breathable, making them suitable for children with sensitive skin. The brushed fleece further enhances comfort.
What is the best way to store these trousers?
Store them folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging them for long periods, as this can stretch the fabric. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel stiff after washing.
This can sometimes happen with wool. Try re-washing on a wool cycle with a wool-specific detergent and lay flat to dry without direct heat. Avoid fabric softener.
Excessive pilling or fraying observed.
Some pilling is natural with 100% merino wool due to friction. To minimize, wash less frequently, use a gentle cycle, and avoid overloading the washing machine. Reshape while damp and dry flat. This does not impact the thermal properties.
Trousers seem to have lost some elasticity.
Ensure you are washing according to instructions and not using high heat. For minor loss of elasticity, reshaping while damp and drying flat can help. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.

Care Instructions:

- Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably while the garment is slightly damp.
- General Care: Due to the natural fibers, expect some pilling or fraying over time, which is normal and does not affect the wool's insulating properties. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
