FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, they are made from 100% organic merino wool, which is known for its fine, soft fibers that are gentle and non-irritating to delicate baby skin.
How do merino wool leggings help regulate temperature?
Merino wool is naturally thermoregulating. It helps keep the body warm by trapping air when it's cold and releases heat and moisture when it's warm, ensuring the baby stays comfortable in various temperatures.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, the thermoregulating and breathable properties of merino wool make these leggings suitable for year-round wear, adapting to seasonal temperature changes.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Wash when visibly soiled or after a few wears. Airing out the garment can often refresh it between washes.
What is the fit like?
They have a close, but comfortable fit designed not to restrict movement. The elastic waistband and leg cuffs ensure they stay in place.
Are these leggings machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable on a wool program using a wool-specific detergent. However, they should not be tumble dried.
What size should I choose?
Refer to the size guide for DILLING baby clothing. The provided size is 6-9 months (UK size).
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that all detergent has been rinsed out. Merino wool is naturally soft, so itchiness often indicates detergent residue or the presence of coarser wool fibers from a blend (which these leggings are not).
Leggings have shrunk after washing
This usually occurs due to washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying. Always follow the cold wash (max 30°C) and lay flat to dry instructions. If slight shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching the garment while damp.
Pilling or 'bobbling' on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially in high-friction areas. This can be gently removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Proper washing and handling minimize pilling.
Leggings have lost their elasticity
Avoid high heat washing and tumble drying, as this degrades elastic fibers. Ensure the garment is stored flat and not stretched excessively during drying.
