FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for children?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating, making it ideal for children's sensitive skin and active lifestyles. It keeps them warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather by managing moisture.
What is the Plasma treatment?
The Plasma treatment is an eco-friendly, chemical-free process used on the merino wool fibers. It removes the rough outer scales of the wool, making it exceptionally soft and comfortable against the skin without compromising its natural benefits.
Can these leggings be worn directly against the skin?
Yes, due to the softness of the 100% organic merino wool and the Plasma treatment, these leggings are designed to be worn comfortably directly against the skin as a base layer.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Washing only when necessary helps preserve the fibers. Airing them out between wears can often suffice.
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, they are excellent as a warming layer under outer garments for cold weather. For extreme cold, they provide a crucial insulating base layer that works effectively with other clothing.
What does 'geometric pattern' refer to?
The geometric pattern refers to the design knitted into the fabric, which includes both a 'pointelle' (a delicate openwork pattern) and a uniform rib pattern, creating a visually interesting texture.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners. If itchiness persists, the Plasma treatment may have lessened over many washes, or the garment may need replacing.
Leggings have lost their shape
Reshape the leggings while damp after washing and lay them flat to dry. Avoid excessive heat and tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage and distortion.
Pilling or small balls forming on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with fine merino wool, especially with initial wears and washes. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills. Avoid vigorous rubbing during washing and drying.
Color fading
Wash inside out in cold water with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and softness of the merino wool:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape the garment while damp.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool setting) while the garment is still damp.
- Stain Removal: Treat stains promptly. For tough stains, a gentle wool-safe stain remover can be used, following the product's instructions and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, consider using breathable garment bags.
