Full details

FAQs
Is this bodysuit suitable for all seasons?
Yes, the natural thermoregulating properties of merino wool and silk make it suitable for year-round wear. It keeps babies warm in cooler temperatures and cool in warmer conditions.
How do I wash the DILLING Merino Wool Bodysuit?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry; do not tumble dry.
Will the bodysuit shrink if I wash it?
If washed according to the care instructions (30°C gentle cycle), shrinkage is minimal. The wool fibers naturally contract slightly after washing, returning the garment to its original shape. Avoid high heat during washing or drying.
What is the benefit of the silk blend?
The silk blend enhances the softness and adds a subtle sheen to the fabric, making it even more gentle on sensitive skin and improving its drape.
Are the snaps easy to use for diaper changes?
Yes, the bodysuit features snaps between the legs specifically designed for quick and easy diaper changes without needing to remove the entire garment.
What does 'pointelle pattern' mean?
Pointelle refers to a delicate, openwork knitting technique that creates a subtle pattern, often with small holes or eyelets, as seen on the sleeve edges of this bodysuit.
How does merino wool regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that creates air pockets, trapping body heat in cooler temperatures. In warmer conditions, these fibers wick moisture away from the skin, promoting evaporation and cooling.
Troubleshooting
Bodysuit appears stretched out after wear.
This is normal for wool blends. After washing according to care instructions, the fabric will return to its original shape as the wool fibers contract.
Skin irritation despite being merino wool.
While rare, ensure the garment is washed before first use. Check care label to confirm it is 100% merino wool and silk blend if specific sensitivities are a concern.
Bodysuit feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and lay flat to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
Designed for infants typically aged 9-12 months. It is intended as a standalone piece or as a base layer under other clothing.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the integrity and softness of the merino wool and silk blend:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the delicate wool fibers and cause shrinkage.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Wool is naturally resistant to odors, but airing out between wears can help.
*Note on stretching*: The fabric may stretch slightly during wear. After washing according to instructions, the wool fibers will naturally contract, returning the bodysuit to its original shape.
