FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for active sports?
While breathable and comfortable, these leggings are best suited for light activities, lounging, and everyday wear. For high-impact sports, consider garments specifically designed for intense moisture-wicking and durability.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the DILLING size guide for accurate measurements. These leggings are designed for a snug, body-hugging fit, so ensure you measure your waist and hips correctly. They should feel comfortable and not restrict movement.
Can I wear these year-round?
Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make them suitable for year-round wear. They provide warmth in cooler temperatures and remain breathable in warmer conditions.
What is the benefit of the silk blend?
The addition of silk enhances the softness and smooth feel of the leggings against the skin, contributing to overall comfort and a luxurious sensation.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Washing frequency depends on usage. Due to the natural anti-microbial properties of wool, they can often be worn multiple times between washes. Airing them out can refresh them. Wash only when necessary following the care instructions.
Will they shrink significantly after washing?
If washed according to the cold water, gentle cycle instructions, significant shrinkage should not occur. The wool fibers are designed to contract back to shape, not shrink excessively.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel too tight initially
Wear them for a short period; the natural fibers will adapt to your body's movements. If still uncomfortable after initial wear, check the sizing against the provided guide.
Leggings stretched out after wear
This is normal for wool. After washing according to care instructions, the wool fibers will contract and return the leggings to their original shape.
Skin irritation
Although made from natural fibers, some individuals may have sensitivities. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is properly rinsed.
Pilling after initial wears
Some minor pilling can occur with natural wool fibers during the initial wears. This can often be gently removed with a fabric shaver or by hand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These leggings require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed for women, these leggings fit true to size with a comfortable elastic waistband. They are compatible with most casual and loungewear outfits.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle (wool program) using cold water (max 30°C). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the leggings flat on a drying rack or towel, reshaping them gently while damp. Wool fibers will naturally contract after washing, helping them return to their original shape.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp. Avoid high temperatures.
- Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging for extended periods to prevent stretching.
