FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin. It helps regulate temperature and wicks away moisture, reducing irritation.
How do merino wool leggings keep my child warm?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, creating an insulating layer. This structure helps keep your child warm by retaining body heat. The wool also breathes, preventing overheating and clamminess.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, merino wool's temperature-regulating properties make it suitable for year-round wear. It provides warmth in winter and is breathable enough to be comfortable in milder weather or as a base layer in summer.
What is the main difference between merino wool and regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than those of regular wool, making them softer, less scratchy, and more breathable. It also has superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating capabilities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING. The leggings should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for full movement without being too tight or too loose. For this product, the UK size is 9-10 Years.
Can I use a regular washing machine cycle?
It is strongly recommended to use the 'wool' or 'delicate' cycle on your washing machine and always use a wool-specific detergent. Standard cycles can be too harsh and may damage the merino wool fibers.
What does 'organic' mean in this context?
Organic refers to the way the merino wool is produced. It means the sheep are raised under strict animal welfare standards, and the wool is processed without harmful chemicals, ensuring a more sustainable and eco-friendly product.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure the leggings are washed according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. High-quality merino wool should be soft, but an initial wash can sometimes enhance softness. Check that the size is appropriate; too small can cause discomfort.
Reduced stretchiness or shape loss
Avoid high-temperature washing and tumble drying, as heat can damage the merino fibers and cause shrinkage or loss of elasticity. Always follow the recommended gentle washing and flat-drying methods.
Fading color
Wash inside out in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade over time. Use detergents without optical brighteners.
Frilled edges look damaged
Handle the frilled edges with care during washing and drying. Avoid vigorous rubbing or ironing directly on the frills. Consider hand-washing the garment if it is frequently worn and washed.
