FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the merino wool and silk blend?
The blend offers the natural warmth and breathability of merino wool combined with the exceptional softness, smoothness, and lightweight feel of silk, providing superior comfort.
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
The blend of fine merino wool and silk is generally very gentle and less likely to cause irritation than coarser wools. However, individual sensitivity varies.
How do I wash these leggings to ensure they last?
We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild wool detergent or using a delicate cycle on your washing machine. Always lay flat to dry and avoid tumble drying or ironing.
Can I wear these leggings as outerwear?
While they have an attractive lace trim, they are primarily designed as a base layer or for loungewear due to their soft, natural fiber composition.
Will these leggings keep me warm in very cold weather?
Yes, the merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth, making them effective for layering in cold conditions.
How does the elastic waistband feel?
The elastic waistband is designed to provide a secure fit without being constrictive, ensuring comfort for all-day wear.
What does 'organic' merino wool mean?
Organic merino wool is sourced from sheep raised under strict organic farming standards, ensuring ethical treatment and environmentally friendly practices.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. The elastic waistband may take a short period to conform to your body.
Pilling after wear
Some pilling is natural with fine wool and silk fibers, especially with initial wear. This can be gently removed with a fabric comb or shaver. Proper washing and handling will minimize future pilling.
Loss of shape after washing
Ensure you are washing on a cold, delicate cycle and laying flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Reshape the garment while it is damp.
