FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the trousers are made from 100% Merino wool, which is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for children with sensitive skin.
How do I wash these Merino wool trousers?
Machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat.
Can I tumble dry these trousers?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as the heat can damage the wool fibers and cause shrinkage. Always lay flat to air dry.
What makes the waffle-knit pattern special?
The waffle-knit pattern creates a textured surface that enhances the fabric's elasticity and breathability. It also helps the garment retain its shape during wear and washing.
How often should I wash these trousers?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, meaning you don't need to wash them as frequently as synthetic garments. Washing only when necessary helps prolong the life of the wool fibers.
What does 'flared' mean in the description?
The trousers fit closely at the top and gradually widen from the knee downwards, creating a trumpet or bell-like shape at the leg opening.
What size are these trousers?
This specific variant is sized for children aged 5-6 years (UK size).
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel scratchy after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wool cycle. Avoid fabric softeners. Re-wash on a gentle cycle with a wool detergent if necessary.
Trousers have lost their shape
Lay flat to dry immediately after washing, reshaping them gently while damp. Avoid high heat drying or wringing.
Pilling occurs on the fabric
Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool fibers, especially with friction. Use a fabric comb or shaver specifically designed for wool to gently remove pills. This does not affect the garment's function.
Garment has shrunk
Unfortunately, significant shrinkage from improper washing (e.g., high heat) is difficult to reverse. Always follow the care instructions carefully to prevent this.
