FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Merino wool is naturally soft and breathable, making it generally well-tolerated. However, individuals with extreme sensitivities to wool may find even fine merino itchy. We recommend washing them before the first use.
How warm are these leggings?
They are designed to be very warm, utilizing the insulating properties of 100% organic merino wool and a special knitting technique that creates a denser, warmer fabric perfect for cold conditions.
Can these leggings be worn as outerwear?
These are designed as a base layer, meaning they are intended to be worn underneath other clothing for warmth. They are not designed for direct outdoor wear as a primary layer.
What does 'close-fitting' mean for these leggings?
Close-fitting means they are designed to be snug against the skin without being overly tight. This fit is optimal for a base layer, preventing bunching and maximizing warmth retention.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, using your child's measurements for age group (7-8) and height as a guide. The leggings are designed to be snug.
What is the Nordic pattern inspired by?
The pattern is inspired by Nordic nature, bringing a cozy and cheerful vibe to the leggings, making them visually appealing for children during winter.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure the leggings are washed according to care instructions before first wear. While merino wool is generally soft, a pre-wash can help. If itchiness persists, consider if the child has sensitivities to wool.
Leggings lost shape after washing
Check that you used a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool cycle on your washing machine. Always lay flat to dry and avoid machine drying or excessive wringing.
Pilling on the fabric
Pilling is normal for natural wool fibers. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills or simply continue wearing; they often decrease over time.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your DILLING merino wool leggings:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program (30-40°C or 86-104°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the natural fibers.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink or damage the wool.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Consider using cedar blocks or sachets to deter moths.
- Pilling: Natural wool can sometimes pill. This is a normal process and can be managed with a fabric shaver if desired.
