Full details
This DILLING Baby Merino Wool Fleece One-Piece is designed for infants and moving toddlers seeking ultimate warmth and comfort, especially in cooler weather or during outdoor naps. Its key benefit is the super-soft, brushed merino wool fleece that provides excellent insulation while remaining breathable. A potential caveat is that natural wool fibers may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, though this does not impact their insulating properties. Key features include a hood, fold-over cuffs and feet, and a convenient zip closure.

FAQs
Is merino wool warm enough for winter?
Yes, merino wool is exceptionally warm and provides excellent insulation even in cold weather. Its natural fibers trap air effectively, keeping your baby cozy.
Can I use this for a newborn?
This particular item is sized for 6-18 months. DILLING may offer smaller sizes suitable for newborns in their merino wool range. Always check the size guide.
How do the fold-over feet and mittens work?
The ends of the sleeves and legs have extra fabric that can be folded over to cover the hands and feet, acting like built-in mittens and socks. They can be folded back when not needed to allow for movement.
Will my baby overheat in this suit?
Merino wool is breathable and helps regulate body temperature. While it provides significant warmth, it's less likely to cause overheating compared to synthetic materials, as it wicks away moisture.
What does 'may change appearance over time and fray' mean?
Because it's made from 100% natural wool, the fibers can naturally wear and become slightly fuzzy or pill over time with use and washing. This is a normal sign of a natural material and does not compromise the wool's warmth or protective qualities.
Can I tumble dry this garment?
No, tumble drying is not recommended. It can cause the wool to shrink and damage the fibers. Always air dry flat away from direct heat.
What kind of detergent should I use?
Use a wool-specific, mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the merino wool fibers.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Merino wool is generally very soft, but an incorrect detergent can sometimes cause irritation. Wash according to care instructions.
Fraying or pilling appears
This is a natural characteristic of 100% merino wool. It does not affect the garment's warmth or performance. You can gently remove pills with a wool comb or by hand.
Zipper is stiff
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught. If it remains stiff, a tiny amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) applied to the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.
Shrinking after washing
Ensure washing was done on a cold wool cycle (max 30°C) and that the garment was air-dried flat, not tumble-dried or exposed to high heat.
