FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
These leggings are size 3-4 (UK), intended for older children. DILLING offers other sizes and products suitable for newborns.
Can I use regular detergent to wash these leggings?
It is highly recommended to use a wool-specific detergent. Regular detergents can contain enzymes that damage merino wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.
How often should I wash merino wool leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning to an extent. Wash only when necessary, typically after a few wears or if visibly soiled. Airing them out between wears can extend the time between washes.
Will my child overheat in these leggings in warm weather?
Merino wool is highly breathable and thermoregulating. While ideal for moderate to cool temperatures, its breathability helps manage temperature in warmer conditions better than many synthetic materials, preventing extreme overheating.
What does 'organic' mean in this context?
Organic refers to the wool being sourced from sheep raised without the use of harmful pesticides or chemicals, adhering to strict environmental and animal welfare standards throughout the farming process.
How do I know if I've bought the correct size?
The size 3-4 (UK) typically corresponds to children aged approximately 3 to 4 years old. It's best to refer to a detailed size chart if available, but the fit should be close but comfortable, with the elastic waistband sitting at the natural waist.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific detergent and have avoided fabric softeners. If the issue persists, the garment may be worn or there could be a rare sensitivity.
Shrinking after washing
Avoid high washing temperatures and tumble drying. Always use a wool program and lay flat to dry.
Pilling on the fabric
Pilling can occur with natural fibers. Use a fabric shaver carefully to remove pills. Proper washing and reduced friction can help minimize pilling.
Elastic waistband feels too tight/loose
The elastic is designed for a snug fit. If it feels too restrictive, ensure the size is correct. If it's too loose, specific care or professional alteration might be needed.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and performance of your DILLING Merino Wool Leggings:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (typically 30°C or 40°C) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the wool fibers and reduce breathability and insulation.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat on a drying rack away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape while damp if necessary.
- Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting if necessary, preferably on the reverse side.
- Stain Removal: Treat stains promptly using a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, consult wool care guides for specific treatments.
