FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, DILLING Merino Wool Leggings are made from 100% organic merino wool, which is known for its natural softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it suitable for most sensitive skin types.

Can I wear these leggings in hot weather?

Merino wool is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating. While they provide warmth in cool conditions, they also help wick moisture and allow air circulation, making them surprisingly comfortable in warmer weather as a base layer.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on the product page or website. Measure your waist and inseam to find the best fit. The elastic waistband offers some flexibility.

Can I wear these leggings for intense exercise?

These leggings are excellent for moderate activities like hiking or yoga. For very high-intensity activities with heavy sweating, synthetic base layers might dry faster, but merino wool offers superior comfort and odor resistance for extended wear.

Do these leggings shrink if washed incorrectly?

Yes, improper washing, especially using high heat or tumble drying, can cause merino wool to shrink. Always follow the cold wash and flat dry instructions carefully.

What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?

Merino wool comes from Merino sheep and has finer, softer fibers that are less coarse and itchy than traditional wool. It also offers superior breathability, moisture-wicking, and temperature regulation.

Are these leggings see-through?

The leggings are designed as a base layer and are typically opaque when worn. The density of the knit ensures they are not see-through, especially when worn under other clothing.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Ensure you are washing them according to the care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. High-quality merino wool is typically non-itchy; irritation may occur if the garment is not cared for properly or if there's a rare sensitivity to wool.

Leggings have lost their shape

Avoid tumble drying and excessive heat. Lay flat to dry and gently reshape while damp. Repeated improper washing or drying can cause stretching.

Reduced warmth or moisture-wicking ability

Check that you are using a suitable detergent and not fabric softeners, which can coat the wool fibers. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impact performance.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can diminish the natural properties of merino wool.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape them gently while damp.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
  • Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for long periods, which can stretch the fabric.
