FAQs
What makes Merino wool suitable for children's clothing?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating, making it comfortable for children's sensitive skin and active lifestyles. It's also naturally odor-resistant.
Can these leggings be worn all year round?
Yes, Merino wool's temperature-regulating properties make these leggings suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler months and are breathable enough for milder temperatures.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING. The leggings should fit snugly but comfortably, with the elastic waistband providing a secure fit without being constricting. They should allow for full range of movement.
Are these leggings machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. However, it is crucial to use a wool or delicate cycle with a wool-specific detergent and wash at a low temperature (30-40°C).
What is the benefit of the ribbed fabric?
The ribbed fabric enhances the garment's comfort and flexibility. It allows for greater stretch and freedom of movement, conforming well to the body's shape.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents often contain enzymes or chemicals that can damage wool fibres and reduce their natural properties.
What does 'Unisex' mean for these leggings?
'Unisex' indicates that the design is suitable for both boys and girls, offering a versatile fit and style.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure the leggings are washed according to care instructions before first wear. Merino wool is generally very soft, but initial washing can enhance this. Check that the size is correct and not too tight.
Shrinkage after washing
Avoid washing at temperatures above 40°C and do not tumble dry. Always air dry. If minor shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the fabric while damp.
Pilling on the fabric
Some minor pilling can occur with natural wool fibres over time, especially with friction. This is normal. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove any pills. Reduce friction where possible.
Elastic waistband feels too loose or tight
The elastic is designed for flexibility. If it feels too loose after wear, ensure correct sizing. If it feels too tight, the garment might be too small. The elastic should provide a secure but comfortable fit without digging in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These leggings require no setup. Simply ensure the correct size is chosen for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility:
- Clothing: Designed to be easily combined with other items in your wardrobe, especially tops, sweaters, and dresses.
- Activities: Suitable for everyday wear, active play, and as a base layer for colder weather activities.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Wash at 30-40°C (86-104°F) on a wool or delicate cycle. Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede the wool's natural properties.
- Drying: It is best to air dry these leggings. Lay them flat on a drying rack or hang them up. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the Merino wool fibres and cause shrinkage.

- Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging for long periods to prevent stretching.
