Product Information
Full details
These DILLING Baby Merino Wool Fleece Trousers are designed for infants needing comfortable, temperature-regulating legwear. The key benefit is the natural warmth and breathability of 100% merino wool, offering a soft mid-layer or homewear option. A potential caveat is that, as a natural material, the wool fleece may change appearance and fray over time with wear and washing, though this doesn't impact its performance.

FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating, making it ideal for a baby's sensitive skin and to keep them comfortable in various conditions without overheating.
How do I know if the size 6-9 months is correct?
The size 6-9 months is a standard UK sizing for infants and typically corresponds to babies within that age and developmental range. It's always best to check the specific measurements if available or compare with your baby's current clothing size.
Can these trousers be worn year-round?
Yes, they are versatile. They provide warmth as a mid-layer in winter and are breathable enough for cooler days in spring and autumn, or even as light loungewear in summer evenings.
What does it mean that the wool may change appearance?
As a natural, unblended material, merino wool can naturally fray or pill slightly with wear and washing. This is a cosmetic change and does not affect the wool's ability to regulate temperature, breathe, or provide warmth.
How often should I wash these trousers?
Wash as needed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so they may not require washing after every single wear. Follow the care instructions for best results.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to use a wool or delicate cycle setting with a wool-specific detergent and avoid high temperatures or harsh spin cycles.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel itchy
Ensure the garment is properly washed according to care instructions. Merino wool is generally very soft, but initial washes can sometimes help soften the fibers further. If itchiness persists, it may be due to individual sensitivity.
Fraying or pilling observed
This is a natural characteristic of 100% merino wool when worn and washed. It does not compromise the warmth or breathability. Gently remove any large pills by hand. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing.
Trousers seem to have lost shape after washing
Ensure the garment was dried flat and reshaped while damp. Avoid high spin cycles and tumble drying, which can distort the wool fibers. Gently reshape the trousers while they are still wet and lay them flat to dry.
