FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and silk is known for its fineness and softness, making it very gentle and comfortable for sensitive skin.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, which typically relates children's age and height to clothing sizes. The adjustable cords also offer some flexibility in fit.
Can these shorts be worn in summer?
Yes, the lightweight and breathable nature of merino wool and silk makes them suitable for warmer weather as they help regulate body temperature and wick away moisture.
What is pointelle knitting?
Pointelle is a type of knitting that creates decorative, openwork patterns, often resembling small eyelets or picot stitches. It adds a delicate aesthetic to the fabric.
How often should I wash these shorts?
Washing frequency depends on usage. Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties. Airing the garment out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers.
Do these shorts shrink?
When cared for according to the instructions (gentle wash, low temperature, no tumble dry), shrinkage is minimized. Avoid hot water and high heat drying, which can cause wool to shrink.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels rough after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and avoided fabric softeners. Re-wash on a gentle cycle with the correct detergent.
Elastic waist feels too tight/loose
Adjust the internal drawstring to achieve a comfortable fit. If the elastic itself is faulty, contact customer support.
Garment has lost its shape
Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid stretching or wringing out the fabric excessively.
