FAQs

What makes merino wool good for babies?

Merino wool is excellent for babies because it's incredibly soft, naturally temperature-regulating (keeping them warm when cold and cool when hot), breathable, and moisture-wicking. It's also hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin.

Can these leggings be worn all year round?

Yes, the thermoregulating properties of merino wool make these leggings suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler months and breathability in warmer conditions.

How do I properly wash merino wool leggings?

Wash on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Lay flat to dry, do not tumble dry.

Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin or eczema?

Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and natural properties, making it a great choice for babies with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.

Will the leggings stay up on my baby?

The leggings feature a practical elastic waistband and snug leg cuffs designed to keep them securely in place without restricting movement.

Can I use a regular detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the fine merino wool fibers over time.

What size should I choose for my baby?

Refer to the size guide (typically based on age or height/weight). For these leggings, size 18-24 months is listed. If your baby is between sizes or you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.

Do these leggings restrict movement?

No, they are designed with a close but comfortable and flexible fit to allow babies to move freely for crawling, playing, and exploring.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

Ensure you are using 100% fine merino wool. Wash the leggings before first use according to care instructions, which can soften the fibers. Ensure the correct size is being worn; if too tight, it might cause irritation.

Leggings shrinking after washing

Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or agitation. Always wash on a cold, gentle wool cycle and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying completely.

Elastic waistband losing stretch

Avoid high heat when washing and drying. Prolonged exposure to heat can degrade elastic. Stick to cold water washes and air drying.

Stains are difficult to remove

Treat stains gently and promptly. For merino wool, avoid harsh stain removers. Try a mild wool detergent applied directly to the stain and wash as per care instructions. For stubborn stains, consider professional wool cleaning.
