FAQs
What makes this merino wool special?
These leggings are made from 100% organic merino wool that has undergone an environmentally friendly Plasma treatment. This process makes the wool exceptionally soft against the skin, enhancing comfort.
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the 100% organic merino wool, combined with the Plasma treatment, makes them very soft and hypoallergenic, ideal for children with sensitive skin.
Can I wear these leggings year-round?
Merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation. They provide warmth in winter and are breathable enough for cooler summer evenings or in air-conditioned environments. They are primarily designed as an extra warming layer.
How do I wash my merino wool leggings?
Machine wash on a wool program or gentle, cold cycle (max 30°C) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry.
What does 'pointelle pattern' mean?
Pointelle is a knitting technique that creates a decorative, often lacy or openwork pattern. It adds a subtle visual interest to the leggings.
Can these be worn as outerwear?
These leggings are designed as a base layer for warmth under other clothing, such as trousers or dresses. They are not intended to be worn as standalone outerwear.
What size should I choose for my child?
Refer to the size guide provided by the manufacturer. For this specific variant, the size is UK 3-4 years. Children's sizes often correspond to age ranges, but checking measurements is recommended for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Organic merino wool, especially with Plasma treatment, is designed to be soft. If itchiness persists, ensure no harsh detergents were used and consider a specific wool rinse aid.
Garment has lost its shape
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat and agitation. Lay flat to dry and avoid high spin cycles or tumble drying. Gently reshape the leggings while damp.
Pilling or fuzziness develops
Some minor pilling is natural with wool fibers over time. Use a fabric comb or shaver gently to remove pills. Proper washing (gentle cycle, wool detergent) helps minimize this.
Color fading
Wash with similar colors in cold water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as this can cause colors to fade.
