Product Information
Full details
These DILLING baby leggings are designed for infants who need extra warmth and comfort during colder months. Made from 100% organic merino wool, they offer superior insulation and a soft feel against delicate skin, featuring a charming Nordic-inspired geometric pattern. A potential consideration is that while merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating, these leggings are best suited for specific cold-weather conditions rather than year-round use.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, they are suitable for everyday wear, especially during colder seasons. Their natural breathability makes them comfortable indoors, while their warmth is ideal for outdoor activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING, considering your baby's current measurements. The size '6-9 months' typically corresponds to a specific height and weight range. It's often better to size up slightly for longevity.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool, making it less soft and potentially damaging the fibres.
What makes merino wool special for babies?
Merino wool is exceptionally soft, non-itchy, breathable, and temperature-regulating. It wicks away moisture, keeping the baby dry and comfortable, and naturally resists odors.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Wash them only when necessary. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Airing them out between wears can often suffice. Overwashing can reduce the lifespan of the wool fibres.
Can these leggings be worn in warm weather?
While merino wool is breathable, these leggings are specifically designed for warmth due to their denser knit. They are best suited for cooler or cold weather conditions and might be too warm for summer months.
Is the Nordic pattern purely decorative?
The Nordic pattern is decorative, inspired by nature. However, the special knitting technique used to create this pattern also results in a denser and warmer material.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Merino wool is naturally soft, but improper washing can cause it to feel rough. Hand washing or using a very gentle machine cycle can also help.
Shrinking after washing
Avoid high temperatures and harsh agitation during washing and drying. Always use a cool wool wash cycle and lay flat to dry. Do not use a tumble dryer.
Pilling on the fabric
Pilling is natural for wool garments, especially when new. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off. Proper washing and care will minimize pilling over time.
Loss of elasticity
Avoid stretching the garment excessively during washing and drying. Lay flat to dry and avoid wringing or twisting the leggings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These leggings require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
- Size: Available in various infant sizes (e.g., 6-9 months) to fit your baby.
- Layering: Designed to be worn as a base layer or a standalone bottom layer. They pair well with tops, bodysuits, and outerwear.
Care Instructions:
Merino wool requires gentle care to maintain its softness and longevity. Always follow the care label instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (typically 30°C or 40°C) with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wool fibres.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat on a drying rack away from direct heat or sunlight to air dry. Reshape them while damp if necessary.
- Stain Removal: Treat stains gently. For stubborn stains, consider spot cleaning with a mild wool cleaner before washing the entire garment.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Fold them rather than hanging to prevent stretching.
