Product Information
Full details
These DILLING Merino Wool Leggings are designed for active children who need comfortable, breathable, and temperature-regulating base layers. The key benefit is the natural merino wool's softness and ability to keep kids comfortable in varying conditions. A potential caveat is that 100% merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. The leggings feature 100% organic merino wool, a flexible fit for movement, and an elastic waistband for all-day comfort.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for everyday wear or just for sports?
These leggings are versatile and suitable for both everyday wear and as a base layer for sports or outdoor activities, thanks to their comfort, breathability, and temperature-regulating properties.
How do I know what size to order for my child?
Refer to the DILLING sizing guide or compare the provided measurements with your child's current clothing. The sizes listed (e.g., 110/116, 122/128) generally correspond to height ranges.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can contain enzymes or chemicals that may strip natural lanolin from the wool and damage the fibers over time.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes if not visibly soiled. Airing them out after wear can help refresh the fibers. Wash only when necessary to prolong the garment's life.
Are DILLING leggings warm enough for winter?
Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator and provides warmth without bulk. They are perfect as a base layer under warmer outerwear for cold winter conditions.
What does 'organic' merino wool mean?
Organic merino wool signifies that the wool comes from sheep raised on farms that adhere to strict organic farming standards, avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers in their pastures.
Troubleshooting
Leggings seem to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle at no higher than 40°C and using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat drying; always lay flat to air dry. If shrinkage is minor, re-wetting and gently reshaping might help.
Skin irritation despite being merino wool.
While rare, ensure the garment is properly rinsed after washing. Use a detergent specifically designed for wool and sensitive skin. Check for any loose threads or seams that might be causing friction.
Leggings losing their shape.
Merino wool is naturally elastic, but excessive stretching or improper drying can affect shape. Always lay flat to dry and avoid wringing. Reshape gently while damp if needed.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool leggings:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30-40°C (86-104°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink or damage the wool. Do not wring out excess water; gently squeeze.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, consider using breathable garment bags.
