FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and breathability, making it an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin. It is naturally hypoallergenic.
How do merino wool leggings help regulate temperature?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, providing insulation. They also wick moisture away from the skin, keeping the child dry and comfortable. This dual action helps maintain a stable body temperature in both cool and warm conditions.
Can these leggings be worn all year round?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer, preventing overheating.
What does 'organic' mean in this context?
It means the merino wool is sourced from sheep raised under organic farming standards, without the use of harmful pesticides or chemicals, and processed with environmentally friendly methods.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You may not need to wash them after every wear. Airing them out can often refresh the garment. Wash when visibly soiled or when odor becomes apparent.
What size should I choose for my child?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING. These leggings are sized for children aged 7-8 years (UK size). Consider your child's measurements for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. High-quality merino wool should be soft; initial wear might feel different if the child is used to other fabrics.
Shrinkage after washing
Check that the washing machine was set to a cold or 30°C wool cycle and that the leggings were not tumble dried or exposed to high heat during drying. Always air dry flat.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially with friction. This can be managed with a fabric shaver if desired. Ensure washing is done on a gentle cycle to minimize abrasion.
