Full details
These DILLING baby leggings in blue are designed for infants aged 12-18 months, offering exceptional comfort and temperature regulation thanks to their 100% organic merino wool construction. Ideal for active babies and peaceful naps alike, their primary benefit is the no-itch softness and breathability. A potential consideration is that merino wool requires specific care to maintain its properties. Key features include a flexible rib surface, thermoregulating material, and a secure fit with wide elastic cuffs and waistband.

FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the 100% organic merino wool is naturally hypoallergenic and known for its softness, making it ideal for babies with sensitive skin.
How do I know if the 12-18 month size is correct?
This size is generally suitable for babies within that age range, but checking a standard baby size chart based on height and weight can provide a more precise fit. The waistband and cuffs offer some flexibility.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Absolutely. Merino wool's natural thermoregulating properties allow it to keep babies warm in winter and cool in summer.
What is the best way to wash merino wool leggings?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle (max 30°C) using a wool-specific detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Lay flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do these leggings have reinforced knees?
The product description does not mention reinforced knees. They feature a flexible rib surface for comfort and movement.
Can I put these leggings in the dryer?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as it can cause the merino wool to shrink and damage the fibers. Always lay them flat to air dry.
What does 'no-itch' mean for merino wool?
'No-itch' refers to the fine diameter of the merino wool fibers used, which bend and flex against the skin rather than poking, unlike coarser wools, thereby preventing irritation.
Troubleshooting
Leggings appear to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a cold or 30°C gentle cycle and avoid tumble drying. If shrinkage has occurred, lay them flat and gently stretch the fabric while damp.
Merino wool is itchy.
DILLING uses superfine merino wool specifically chosen for its non-itchy properties. If irritation occurs, ensure the garment is washed correctly with wool-friendly detergent and has been rinsed thoroughly. Sometimes, an initial wash can help soften the fibers further.
Color fading.
Wash inside out and avoid direct sunlight during drying. Use a detergent that is safe for colors and wool.
