FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is naturally soft and breathable, making it an excellent choice for sensitive baby skin. It helps regulate temperature and wicks away moisture, reducing irritation.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties. You can often wear them multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, preferably by hand or on a gentle wool cycle, to preserve the fibers.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool, damaging the fibers and reducing its performance.
What does 'temperature regulating' mean for my baby?
Temperature regulating means the merino wool fibers can adapt to your baby's body temperature. They help keep your baby warm in cooler conditions by trapping heat and cool in warmer conditions by allowing heat and moisture to escape.
Are these leggings machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a specific wool program at a low temperature (max 30°C) using a wool detergent. However, hand washing is often preferred for extending the garment's lifespan.
How do I know if I bought the correct size?
The size 18-24 months is designed for babies within that age and approximate height/weight range. The leggings should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for movement without being too tight or too loose. Check the size guide if available from the retailer.
Can these be worn year-round?
Yes, due to their natural temperature-regulating properties, merino wool leggings are suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer, helping maintain a comfortable body temperature.
Troubleshooting
Leggings appear stretched or misshapen after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle on your machine at no more than 30°C. Avoid wringing or twisting the garment; instead, gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. If the baby feels too warm, ensure they are not overdressed on top. If too cold, consider adding another layer of natural fiber clothing over or under the leggings. Ensure the size is appropriate for a comfortable fit.
Pilling or minor fuzziness on the surface.
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially with initial wears and washes. This can be gently managed with a fabric shaver designed for wool or by careful handling. It does not typically affect the garment's performance.
Skin irritation.
While rare, if irritation occurs, ensure the leggings are washed according to care instructions before the first wear. Check for any sensitivities to wool, although merino wool is known for its softness and minimal itchiness.
