FAQs
Are these tights suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, organic merino wool is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it suitable for children with sensitive skin. However, always test for allergies if you have concerns.
How often should I wash these tights?
Due to merino wool's natural odour-resistance, you can often wear them multiple times before washing. Wash when visibly dirty or if odour is present. Overwashing can reduce the lifespan of the garment.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the merino wool fibers.
What is the benefit of the polyamide and elastane blend?
The polyamide adds durability and resilience, while the elastane provides stretch. This blend ensures the tights can withstand active play and maintain their shape over time.
Are these tights warm enough for winter?
Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator and provides warmth without bulk, making these tights suitable as a base layer or standalone option in cooler weather.
How do I know if I bought the correct size?
The size 5-6 corresponds to a UK children's size range. It's best to refer to a DILLING sizing chart or measure your child's waist and inseam to ensure a proper fit, as children's sizing can vary.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the washing instructions. Organic merino wool is typically very soft, so itchiness might indicate a washing issue or a sensitivity to the blend.
Elastic waistband feels loose
Check that the size is appropriate. If the size is correct, the elastic may have stretched over time with heavy use. Ensure proper washing and drying methods are followed to prolong elasticity.
Fibers appear to be snagged or pulled
Handle with care to avoid snags on rough surfaces. If a minor snag occurs, gently try to smooth the fibers back into place. Avoid pulling at snags.
