FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sports?
While they offer excellent freedom of movement and breathability, they are best suited for light activities like yoga or walking. For high-impact sports, dedicated sportswear might offer more durability and support.
Can I wear these directly against my skin?
Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and silk is exceptionally soft and designed to be comfortable against the skin, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable. You can often wear them multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions to maintain the integrity of the fibers.
Will these leggings keep me warm in cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator and provides natural warmth without bulk. They are very effective as a base layer in cold conditions.
What does 'pointelle' mean?
Pointelle refers to a type of knitting that creates an openwork pattern, often in delicate floral or geometric designs. In these leggings, it contributes to the aesthetic and breathability of the fabric.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for women's UK dress sizes. While they have a snug fit, the material has some stretch. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a tighter or slightly looser fit.
Can I machine dry these leggings?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as the heat can cause the wool fibers to shrink and damage the fabric. Always air dry them flat.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel stretched out after wearing.
This is a natural characteristic of wool fibers. The leggings should contract back to their original shape after washing according to the care instructions. Avoid prolonged stretching.
Fabric feels scratchy.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct washing temperature. Re-washing with a wool-safe conditioner might help. The merino wool and silk blend is generally very soft; scratchiness might indicate improper care or a need for the fibers to soften further with wear.
Color seems dull after washing.
Use a detergent designed for dark or colored wools. Ensure you are washing in cold water and avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive agitation.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water (max 30°C or 86°F).
- Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent or a mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat on a drying rack or towel away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool program) while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Shrinkage: Note that merino wool fibers may contract slightly after washing. Reshaping while damp helps restore the original fit. Avoid excessive heat, which can cause permanent shrinkage.
