FAQs
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, merino wool's natural temperature-regulating properties make it suitable for both warm and cool weather. It keeps babies warm in winter and cool in summer.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, which usually correlates UK baby sizes with age ranges and specific measurements. Ensure a snug but not tight fit.
Are these leggings suitable for babies with sensitive skin or eczema?
Absolutely. 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness, breathability, and natural hypoallergenic properties, making it excellent for sensitive skin.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Wash only when necessary, or after significant soiling. Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of the fibers. Spot clean minor stains if possible.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, but only on the gentle wool cycle (usually 30°C or cold). Always use a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
Do these leggings shrink?
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing/drying cycles. Always follow the care instructions: gentle cycle, cold water, and lay flat to dry.
What makes merino wool better than regular wool for babies?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than traditional wool, making them significantly softer, less scratchy, and more breathable. They also have excellent moisture-wicking capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. True merino wool is naturally soft and non-itchy; an itchy feeling might indicate residue or a reaction to a non-wool blend if present (though these are 100% merino).
Leggings have lost shape after washing
Merino wool can stretch. Lay the leggings flat to dry immediately after washing, gently reshaping them while damp. Avoid tumble drying or excessive wringing.
Pilling or fuzziness on the surface
Some minor pilling is normal for natural fibers like wool, especially with frequent wear and washing. You can gently remove pills with a fabric comb or shaver designed for wool.
Color fading
Wash inside out in cold water with a wool-safe detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying.
