FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the merino wool and silk blend provides excellent natural insulation, making them very suitable for cold weather, especially when layered.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the DILLING size chart and measure your child's waist and inseam. The leggings should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight or restricting movement.

Can these leggings be worn directly against the skin?

Absolutely. The organic wool and silk blend is exceptionally soft and designed to be worn directly against the skin for maximum comfort and breathability.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can often be worn multiple times between washes. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor is present, following the care instructions.

Will the wool feel itchy?

No, the fine fibres of merino wool combined with silk create an incredibly soft and non-itchy feel, even for sensitive skin.

Can these leggings be used for sports?

Yes, their breathability and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for light to moderate sports activities, providing comfort and temperature regulation.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the child's measurements. The intended fit is snug, but if it restricts movement significantly, consider a size up. Check the garment care instructions to ensure it hasn't shrunk during washing.

Elastic waistband losing stretch

This is uncommon with proper care. Ensure the leggings are not exposed to excessive heat during washing or drying, as this can degrade elastic. Avoid stretching the waistband unnecessarily when putting them on or taking them off.

Skin irritation

While the wool and silk blend is designed for sensitive skin, some individuals may still have sensitivities. Ensure the garment is washed before the first wear. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
