FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the blend of merino wool and silk offers excellent warmth without bulk, making them ideal for cold weather as a base layer or standalone item.
Can I machine wash these leggings?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a gentle, wool-specific cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a mild detergent for delicates. Always avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
How do I prevent the lace trim from getting damaged?
The lace trim is delicate. We recommend hand washing or using a mesh laundry bag if machine washing. Avoid wringing the garment and lay flat to dry.
What is the main benefit of the merino wool and silk blend?
The blend combines merino wool's natural temperature regulation, moisture-wicking, and odor-resistance with silk's exceptional softness, smooth feel, and luxurious drape.
Are these leggings itchy?
The organic merino wool is fine and soft, and the addition of silk significantly enhances the softness, making them generally very comfortable and non-itchy. However, individuals with extreme sensitivities might have different experiences.
Can I wear these leggings for exercise?
These leggings are excellent for light to moderate activities like walking, hiking, or yoga due to their breathability and moisture management. For high-intensity, sweat-inducing activities, specialized performance gear might be more suitable.
How should I dry these leggings?
Never tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing and lay them flat on a towel or drying rack to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape while damp.
What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?
Consult the DILLING size chart for specific measurements. Generally, for a snug base layer fit, choose your usual size. If you prefer a looser fit or are between sizes, consider sizing up, but note that merino wool and silk have a slight natural give.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size chart and compare with your measurements. The elastic waistband is designed to be comfortable, but if it feels too constrictive, it may indicate an incorrect size.
Fabric feels rough or less soft after washing
This can happen if a harsh detergent or fabric softener was used, or if the garment was washed at too high a temperature. Always use wool-specific, mild detergents and cool water. Air drying as instructed also helps maintain softness.
Lace trim appears stretched or damaged
The lace trim is delicate. Avoid wringing the leggings vigorously. Ensure you are using the gentle wash cycle and not tumble drying. Reshape carefully when drying.
Leggings lose shape after wear
Merino wool and silk have natural elasticity, but prolonged stretching can affect shape. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques, and avoid over-stretching during wear. Laying flat to dry helps to maintain the original shape.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and maintain the quality of your merino wool and silk leggings, please follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle, wool-specific cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the natural fibers and the lace trim.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the leggings flat on a clean towel or drying rack, reshaping them while damp, and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting (wool or silk setting) with a pressing cloth, or steam gently. Avoid ironing the lace trim directly.
