FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is naturally soft and hypoallergenic, making it excellent for sensitive baby skin.
How do I wash these leggings?
It is best to hand wash or use a machine's delicate wool cycle with a wool-specific detergent at a maximum of 30°C. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry.
Can I put these leggings in the dryer?
No, tumble drying can damage the merino wool fibers and cause shrinkage. Always lay them flat to air dry.
What makes merino wool good for temperature regulation?
Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that traps air, providing insulation. They also wick moisture away from the skin, helping to keep the baby dry and comfortable in both warm and cool conditions.
What is the benefit of the ribbed texture and frilled edges?
The subtle ribbed texture adds flexibility and a stylish look. The cute frilled edges are purely decorative, enhancing the garment's aesthetic appeal.
How long will these leggings last?
With proper care and regular use, DILLING merino wool garments are known for their durability and can last for a significant period, often being passed down to other children.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
This specific product is available in size 12-18 months and the color red. DILLING offers a range of other sizes and colors for their merino wool baby clothing.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can leave residue. If the issue persists, the wool may need a gentle re-wash with a specialized wool rinse.
Leggings have lost their shape.
Merino wool is naturally elastic, but over-stretching during washing or drying can affect shape. Always lay flat to dry and avoid wringing or stretching the garment when wet. Reshape gently while damp.
Visible wear or pilling.
Pilling is natural with merino wool and can be gently removed with a wool comb or sweater stone. To minimize wear, follow care instructions diligently and avoid excessive friction.
Baby feels cold despite wearing leggings.
Ensure the leggings are the correct size and fit snugly but not too tightly. Check that other layers are appropriate for the temperature. Merino wool works best when it can utilize body heat.
