FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
Yes, the smallest size (0-3 months) is suitable for newborns, provided they fit comfortably. Always check the size guide for best fit.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Refer to the DILLING size chart, which typically provides measurements for chest, waist, and length relative to age and UK/EU sizing. Ensure a snug but not restrictive fit.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Due to their excellent temperature-regulating properties, they can be worn year-round. They provide warmth in winter and are breathable enough for cooler summer evenings or air-conditioned environments. However, they are primarily designed for colder weather.
Is merino wool itchy for babies?
High-quality merino wool, like that used by DILLING, is exceptionally fine and soft, making it non-itchy for most babies. The organic fibers are naturally smooth and gentle on sensitive skin.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than other materials. Airing out the leggings between wears can often suffice. Wash only when visibly soiled or after several wears, following the care instructions.
What does the Nordic pattern represent?
The patterns are inspired by Nordic nature, aiming to create a cozy and cheerful atmosphere, reflecting the natural beauty of Scandinavian landscapes.
Can these leggings be worn under snowsuits?
Yes, they are an excellent base layer for snowsuits, providing an extra layer of warmth and comfort without adding bulk.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel stiff after washing
This can happen if the wrong detergent is used or if the wool is over-agitated. Use a wool-specific detergent and a gentle cycle. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
Baby seems too warm
Merino wool is breathable, but on very warm days, it may still provide too much insulation. Consider using them only in cooler temperatures or as a base layer that can be removed.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure you are washing on a cold/delicate cycle (max 30°C) and avoid high heat in drying. Reshape the garment while wet and lay flat to dry. Never tumble dry.
