FAQs
Are DILLING merino wool tights suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, merino wool is naturally soft and hypoallergenic, making it generally well-suited for sensitive skin. The blend includes a small percentage of synthetic fibers for durability, which is usually not an issue for most children.
How often should I wash these tights?
Due to merino wool's natural odor-resistant properties, they can often be worn multiple times between washes, especially if aired out. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor becomes noticeable.
Can these tights be worn in all seasons?
Yes, merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation. It provides warmth in cooler weather and breathes well to keep children comfortable in milder conditions or indoors.
What does the DILLING logo on the sole mean?
The DILLING logo and size indicator on the sole are for branding and size identification, providing a subtle visual cue.
Will these tights shrink if washed incorrectly?
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat during washing or drying. It is crucial to follow the cold wash (30°C) and air-dry instructions carefully.
How do I compare sizes with other brands?
Always refer to the DILLING specific size chart provided, as sizing can vary significantly between brands. The provided size is UK children's size 5-6.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the Beige color variant. Please check the DILLING product range for availability of other colors or styles.
Troubleshooting
Tights seem too tight or too loose.
Check the size chart carefully against your child's measurements. Consider the blend of natural and synthetic fibers; merino wool can relax slightly with wear. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a looser fit or down for a snugger fit, depending on preference and activity.
Discomfort or irritation on the skin.
Ensure the tights are washed according to care instructions before first use. While merino wool is naturally soft, very sensitive skin might react to the blend; test for a short period. Ensure the garment is not too tight.
Reduced elasticity after washing.
Avoid high heat washing and tumble drying, as these can damage the elastic fibers. Always follow the recommended 30°C wash and air-dry method.
Fabric appears to be thinning or pilling excessively.
Gentle washing and avoiding harsh detergents can minimize pilling. Minor pilling is normal for wool products; use a fabric shaver carefully if needed. Ensure the child is not snagging the tights on rough surfaces.
