FAQs
What makes the merino wool extra soft?
The merino wool undergoes a Plasma treatment, an environmentally friendly process that makes the fibers exceptionally soft and gentle against the skin, reducing any potential for itchiness.
Can these leggings be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, due to the soft Plasma treatment and the natural properties of merino wool, they are designed to be worn comfortably directly against the skin as a base layer.
How do merino wool leggings help regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers are naturally breathable and have a unique structure that traps air for insulation when it's cold, and allows heat and moisture to escape when it's warm, keeping the wearer comfortable in a range of temperatures.
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, they are excellent as a warming base layer. For extreme cold, they can be worn under additional insulating layers like fleece or snow pants.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Washing after each wear is not always necessary. Airing them out between wears can help extend the time between washes, preserving the wool's fibers and reducing environmental impact. Follow care instructions when washing is needed.
What is the main benefit of the Plasma treatment?
The Plasma treatment is specifically designed to make the merino wool fibers extremely soft, ensuring maximum comfort for sensitive children's skin and eliminating the common concern of wool being itchy.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
This guide refers to a specific product variant. Please check the product listing for availability of other sizes and colors within the DILLING range.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wool wash cycle. Avoid fabric softener. Lay flat to dry and avoid high heat. If itchiness persists, consider if the garment has been exposed to harsh chemicals.
Wool fibers appear stretched or misshapen
Avoid tumble drying and excessive wringing. Lay flat to dry immediately after washing. Reshape the garment gently while damp if needed.
Leggings are difficult to put on over other layers
These leggings are designed as a slim base layer. Ensure the inner layer of clothing is smooth and consider ordering a size up if layering under particularly thick garments, though this may affect the fit.
