FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for newborns?
Yes, the leggings are available in sizes suitable for infants, including those from 0-3 months. Always check the size guide for the best fit.
How warm are these leggings compared to cotton?
Merino wool is significantly warmer than cotton, especially when wet, and offers superior insulation properties while remaining breathable.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
They are primarily designed for colder months due to their warmth. However, merino wool's breathability makes them adaptable for cooler summer evenings or in air-conditioned environments.
What does 'Nordic pattern' mean?
The Nordic pattern is inspired by nature and traditional Scandinavian designs, featuring cheerful motifs that add a festive and cozy feel to the garment.
Is merino wool hypoallergenic?
Fine merino wool is generally considered hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin due to its soft fibers and natural properties. However, individual sensitivities can vary.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool, making it less soft and durable.
How do I check if they are the correct size?
Refer to the DILLING size chart which provides measurements for chest, waist, length, and inseam for each size category (e.g., 0-3 months, 6-9 months).
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with merino wool. Gently stretch the fabric while damp or re-wash using a small amount of wool conditioner.
Leggings appear to have shrunk
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are washing and drying according to the care instructions, using cool water and avoiding high heat.
Baby seems uncomfortable or itchy
While 100% merino wool is very fine, ensure there are no rough seams. If the issue persists, try wearing them over a thin cotton layer, though this may reduce thermal efficiency.
