FAQs
Are these briefs suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and mulberry silk is exceptionally soft and breathable, making them ideal for children with sensitive skin. They are designed to be comfortable next to the skin.
How do I know if I have the right size?
This guide is for size 5-6 (UK). Please refer to the size chart provided by DILLING for accurate measurements to ensure the best fit for your child.
Can these be worn in all seasons?
Yes, merino wool is known for its natural temperature-regulating properties. It keeps children warm in cooler weather and cool in warmer weather by wicking away moisture.
What is the benefit of the silk in the blend?
The mulberry silk adds an extra layer of smoothness and softness to the fabric, enhancing comfort and making the garment feel even more luxurious against the skin.
How often should I wash these briefs?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Washing only when necessary, following the gentle care instructions, will help maintain the integrity and lifespan of the fibers.
Are these machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable on a wool or delicates cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F), using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high temperatures and harsh chemicals.
What does 'pointelle' pattern mean?
Pointelle refers to a knitting technique that creates a decorative, openwork pattern, often resembling eyelets or small decorative holes. In this case, it gives the briefs a subtle and delicate visual texture.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy after washing.
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and did not use fabric softener. Re-rinse the garment in cool water. Itchiness can sometimes occur if wool residue from washing machines is present; try running an empty wash cycle with a wool cleaner.
Elastic waistband has lost its stretch.
This can happen with prolonged exposure to high heat or harsh detergents. Ensure you are following the care instructions strictly, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Gentle handling will prolong the life of the elastic.
Pointelle pattern snagged or pulled.
Carefully try to pull the snagged thread back through to the inside of the garment. Avoid wearing jewelry or items with sharp edges that could catch the delicate pattern. Wash inside out in a mesh laundry bag to protect the delicate knit.
