FAQs

Is merino wool itchy for babies?

No, organic merino wool, especially when blended with silk, is exceptionally fine and soft. Unlike coarser wools, it is designed to be non-itchy against sensitive skin.

Can this onesie be worn year-round?

Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for both warm and cool weather. It acts as a breathable base layer that adapts to the ambient temperature.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING. The onesie should have a close, comfortable fit without restricting movement. Since it doesn't have enclosed feet, you have a bit more flexibility with sizing.

What is the benefit of the silk blend?

The silk blend enhances the softness and smoothness of the fabric, adding a luxurious feel and improving its drape and durability.

Why doesn't it have enclosed feet?

The open-foot design offers more flexibility, allowing babies to move their toes freely and accommodating different sock choices or foot sizes. It also prevents the feet from getting too warm.

Can I use a regular detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from wool and damage the fine fibers.

How often should I wash this onesie?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and temperature-regulating, meaning it doesn't need to be washed after every single wear. Airing it out between uses can often suffice. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor becomes noticeable.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stiff or rough after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wool wash cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners. Air dry away from direct heat.

Baby seems uncomfortable or too warm/cold

Merino wool is thermoregulating, but adjust other layers accordingly. Ensure the fit is snug but not restrictive. Check for any tags or seams that might be irritating.

Poppers are difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the fabric around the poppers is flat and not bunched. If they feel stiff initially, repeated gentle use should loosen them. Check for any lint or debris obstructing the poppers.
