Full details
These DILLING merino wool terry trousers in blue, size 5-6, are designed for active children needing comfortable, durable, and temperature-regulating wear. Their key benefit is the natural softness and breathability of merino wool, combined with reinforced knees for longevity. A potential consideration is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. These trousers feature a cosy inner lining, smooth outer surface, elasticated ribbed waistband and hem, and a safely secured internal drawstring.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the merino wool terry with its cosy inner lining provides excellent warmth. They are ideal for spring, autumn, and mild winter days, or as a base layer in colder conditions.
How do I adjust the drawstring?
The drawstring is located inside the waistband and can be pulled or loosened to adjust the fit. It is secured internally for safety.
Can these trousers be worn year-round?
Merino wool is highly adaptable. While excellent for cooler months, its breathability also makes it comfortable for milder days. They may be too warm for very hot summer weather.
What makes merino wool different from regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable against the skin. They also have superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
How often should I wash these trousers?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so frequent washing isn't always necessary. Airing them out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when visibly soiled or after multiple wears, following the care instructions.
Why are the knees reinforced?
Children often wear out the knees of their trousers quickly through crawling, playing, and general activity. The extra layer provides added durability to this high-wear area.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight after washing.
Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if washed too hot. Ensure you are following the 30°C wool cycle and laying flat to dry. If slightly tight, gentle stretching while damp may help.
Pilling on the surface.
Some minor pilling is natural with wool fibers over time. This can be gently removed with a fabric comb or shaver. Ensure you are washing inside out to minimize friction.
Inner lining feels less soft.
Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade wool fibers. Use a specialized wool detergent and ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly.
