FAQs

What makes merino wool different from regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than traditional wool, making them less itchy. They also have superior moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.

Can these leggings be worn year-round?

Yes, merino wool is excellent for both warm and cold weather. It keeps you warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm by managing body temperature and moisture.

How often should I wash these leggings?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so they don't need to be washed after every wear. Wash when they appear dirty or if odor is noticeable. Airing them out can often refresh the garment.

What does the enzyme treatment do?

The environmentally friendly enzyme treatment softens the merino wool fibers, making them feel exceptionally smooth and gentle against the skin, reducing any potential itchiness.

Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the enzyme treatment makes the merino wool very soft and gentle, making them suitable for most children with sensitive skin. However, always test for individual reactions.

What activities are these leggings best for?

They are ideal for a wide range of activities including everyday wear, playing outdoors, hiking, skiing, and sleeping due to their comfort, warmth, and flexibility.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel itchy

While treated for softness, some individuals may still be sensitive. Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. If irritation persists, discontinue use.

Color fading after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a cold wool cycle. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.

Lace trim snagged or damaged

Gently try to mend any snags by hand. For significant damage, consider if repair is feasible or if the leggings can still be worn without the damaged section.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C (86°F).
