Full details

These DILLING baby merino wool tights are designed for infants (6-18 months) seeking comfortable, temperature-regulating legwear. Their key benefit is the natural softness and breathability of merino wool combined with enhanced durability from synthetic fibers, ensuring warmth without overheating. A potential caveat is the need for specific care to maintain the wool's integrity. Key features include a soft, stretchy fit suitable for diaper changes, an elasticated waist for security, and a subtle DILLING logo and size indicator on the sole.

FAQs

Are these tights suitable for newborns?

These specific tights are sized for infants aged 6-18 months. DILLING may offer different sizes for newborns.

Can these tights be worn year-round?

Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler weather and breathability in warmer conditions.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The size (6-18 months) is indicated on the product tag and discreetly on the sole of the tights. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, allowing for movement without restriction.

Why is there polyamide and elastane in merino wool tights?

These synthetic fibers are added to increase the durability and stretch of the fabric, ensuring the tights hold their shape and withstand active play while maintaining the comfort of merino wool.

How often should I wash these tights?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Washing after each wear is often unnecessary. Airing them out between wears can help prolong their life. Wash when visibly soiled or if odor is present, following the care instructions.

Are these tights machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C. Always use a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach.

What makes merino wool good for babies?

Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating. It wicks away moisture and is gentle on sensitive skin, helping to keep babies comfortable and dry.

Troubleshooting

Tights feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the tights are not inside out, as this can affect fit. The natural elasticity should allow for a comfortable fit, even over a diaper.

Baby appears too warm or sweaty

While merino wool is breathable, ensure the room or environment isn't excessively warm. If sweating occurs, check that the garment is not too thick for the ambient temperature.

Shrinkage after washing

Always follow the specific care instructions, especially using a wool wash program at 30°C and avoiding high heat. Lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying.

Pilling on the fabric

Some pilling can occur with natural wool fibers over time due to friction. This is normal and does not affect the performance. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive rubbing can minimize this.
