FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for all seasons?
Yes, merino wool's natural thermoregulating properties make these leggings suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler temperatures and breathability in warmer conditions.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and antibacterial, meaning they can be worn multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, preferably on a gentle cycle with a wool detergent.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, but only on a dedicated wool or delicates cycle with cold water (max 30°C). Always use a wool-specific detergent and avoid harsh agitation or high spin speeds.
What makes merino wool better than regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable against sensitive skin. They also have superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating abilities.
Will these leggings restrict my baby's movement?
No, the leggings are designed with a close, but comfortable fit that moves with your child. The stretchy nature of the merino wool ensures they do not restrict movement during play or naps.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart for DILLING baby clothing. The size 18-24 months is typically for babies within that age range. Ensure the waistband and cuffs fit snugly but comfortably without digging in.
Are these leggings machine dryable?
No, never tumble dry merino wool. Always lay them flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain the integrity and shape of the wool.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel scratchy or stiff after washing.
This can happen if the wrong detergent or washing cycle was used. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle, low-temperature wool cycle. Avoid fabric softeners. Re-wash on a gentle cycle with wool detergent if needed.
Leggings have shrunk after washing.
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive agitation. Always follow the cold wash and gentle cycle instructions. If minor shrinkage has occurred, you may be able to gently stretch the fabric while damp. For significant shrinkage, it may be difficult to restore the original size.
Elastic waistband feels loose.
Over time, elastic can lose some of its resilience. Ensure the leggings are not being overstretched during wear or washing. If the elastic becomes significantly loose, repair or replacement may be necessary, though this is uncommon with proper care.
Pilling on the surface.
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers, especially during initial wears. It can be managed by gently removing pills with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Frequent washing can also exacerbate pilling; try to wash only when necessary.

Compatibility: Designed for infants aged 18-24 months, these leggings are compatible with most baby clothing styles. They can be worn as standalone pants or as a base layer with other garments.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle wool cycle (max 30°C or 86°F) with a wool-specific detergent. Alternatively, hand wash gently.
- Detergent: Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage the merino fibers.

- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Folding is recommended over hanging to prevent stretching.
