FAQs

Can these leggings be worn year-round?

Yes, the natural temperature-regulating properties of merino wool and silk make them suitable for both warm and cool conditions, acting as a breathable layer in summer and a warm layer in winter.

Are these leggings suitable for babies with eczema or sensitive skin?

Absolutely. The blend of organic merino wool and silk is naturally soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for babies with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.

How do I properly wash these leggings?

We recommend hand washing or using a delicate/wool cycle on your washing machine at a maximum of 30°C. Use a wool-specific detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.

What is the difference between these and 100% merino wool leggings?

The addition of silk creates an even smoother, softer feel and can enhance the breathability and moisture-wicking properties. The silk also adds a subtle sheen and can help the garment maintain its shape.

My baby is between sizes, which should I choose?

Given the flexible nature of the material and the snug fit, if your baby is between sizes, consider the larger size for longer wear, especially if they are particularly active. Refer to the size chart for specific measurements.

Do these leggings need to be washed before the first use?

Yes, it is always recommended to wash baby clothing before the first wear to ensure cleanliness and to soften the fibers further.

Can I put these leggings in the dryer?

No, the leggings should not be put in a tumble dryer. High heat can damage the delicate merino wool and silk fibers, causing shrinkage or loss of shape. Always air dry them flat.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Merino wool is naturally soft, but ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. If itching persists, the baby may have an extreme sensitivity to wool, though the silk blend often mitigates this.

Elastic waistband feels too tight

Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the fit is still snug, try gently stretching the waistband while damp and laying flat to dry.

Garment has lost shape after washing

This typically occurs with improper washing. Always use a delicate/wool cycle and avoid high temperatures or aggressive spinning. Lay flat to dry rather than hanging.

Pilling observed on the fabric

Some pilling is natural with fine wool fibers, especially in the initial stages of wear. This can be managed by using a fabric shaver or by gently removing pills by hand. Ensure minimal friction during washing.

Care Instructions:

To preserve the quality of the merino wool and silk blend, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate/wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can damage the delicate fibers.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting.
  5. Avoid Agitation: Minimize wringing or rubbing to prevent felting or stretching.
