FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
Yes, the 0-6 month size is suitable for newborns and younger infants. The soft merino wool and flexible design prioritize comfort for the most delicate skin.
How often should I wash these merino wool leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable. You can often air them out between wears. Wash only when necessary, typically after a few wears or if visibly soiled, using a gentle wool cycle.
Can these leggings be worn in all seasons?
Yes, merino wool is a versatile fiber. It provides warmth in cooler weather and is breathable enough to keep babies comfortable in warmer conditions by helping to regulate body temperature.
What does 'thermoregulating' mean for a baby's clothing?
Thermoregulating means the fabric helps maintain a stable body temperature. Merino wool can absorb moisture and release it slowly, providing warmth when it's cold and cooling the body through evaporation when it's warm.
Is merino wool safe for babies with sensitive skin?
Yes, DILLING uses extra-fine merino wool specifically chosen for its softness and lack of itchiness, making it ideal for babies with sensitive skin. The natural fibers are gentle and hypoallergenic.
How do I know if I've purchased the correct size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart for infant wear. The 0-6 months size is typically for babies weighing around 12-17 lbs (5.5-7.5 kg) and measuring 24-27 inches (60-67 cm). The leggings should fit snugly but comfortably without restricting movement.
Can these leggings be used as a base layer under other clothes?
Absolutely. Their slim profile and soft material make them an excellent base layer for added warmth and comfort under pants, snowsuits, or dresses during colder months.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel rough or itchy.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Some initial stiffness can occur, which usually resolves after the first wash and wear. Confirm the garment is 100% merino wool as stated.
Leggings appear to have shrunk after washing.
Check that the washing machine was set to a wool cycle (max 30-40°C) and that the garment was not exposed to high heat during drying. Lay flat to dry, and avoid tumble drying.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose.
While designed for a secure fit, individual baby shapes vary. The wide elastic should offer comfort. If issues persist after wear, ensure the correct size was purchased. These leggings do not have adjustable waistbands.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your DILLING merino wool leggings, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle (wool program) at a maximum of 30-40°C (86-104°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Reshape the leggings while damp and lay them flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink or damage the wool.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool setting) with the garment inside out.
- Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging for long periods to prevent stretching.
