FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, merino wool is known for its fine fibers and softness, making it generally very comfortable and non-irritating, even for sensitive skin.
Can these trousers be worn in summer?
Merino wool is breathable and temperature-regulating, so while excellent for cooler weather, it can also help keep children comfortable in milder summer conditions by wicking away moisture.
How often should I wash these trousers?
Due to merino wool's natural odor-resistant properties, these trousers can often be worn multiple times between washes. Wash only when visibly soiled or if odors are present, using the gentle care instructions provided.
What does 'waffle knit' mean for the trousers?
Waffle knit refers to the textured pattern of the fabric, resembling a waffle. This knitting technique creates small pockets that enhance breathability and elasticity, contributing to the garment's comfort and shape retention.
Can I use a regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a mild detergent specifically formulated for wool. Regular detergents can contain harsh chemicals that may damage the wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.
What are the benefits of merino wool compared to regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than those of traditional wool, making them softer, less itchy, and more breathable. It also offers superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight after washing
Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if washed or dried incorrectly. Ensure you are using a cold wash cycle and laying flat to dry. If they have shrunk, try gently stretching the fabric while damp.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Some pilling is normal with knitted garments, especially merino wool. Use a fabric comb or de-piller gently to remove any small pills. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing.
Odor persists after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wash cycle. For stubborn odors, try soaking the trousers in cool water with a small amount of white vinegar for 30 minutes before washing as usual.
Loss of elasticity
Ensure the garment is not overstretched during washing or drying. Avoid high temperatures in the wash or dryer, as this can damage the elastane. Laying flat to dry helps maintain shape.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and quality of the merino wool:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle or wool cycle using a mild detergent specifically for wool. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the wool fibers.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean towel or drying rack. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink and damage the wool fibers.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting with the garment inside out. It is often not required due to the natural elasticity of the wool.
- Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging for long periods, which can cause stretching.
