FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the organic wool and silk blend is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for children with sensitive skin or allergies.
How do I know what size to order?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, which typically aligns with children's age and height measurements. The UK size listed is 10, which generally corresponds to a specific age range.
Can these leggings be worn year-round?
Yes, merino wool naturally regulates temperature, making these leggings suitable for both warm and cool conditions. They provide warmth in winter and breathability in summer.
What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool for base layers?
Merino wool fibers are finer and softer than regular wool, making them less itchy and more comfortable against the skin. They also have superior moisture-wicking and breathability.
How often should I wash these leggings?
Wash only when necessary. Natural fibers like wool are odor-resistant. Spot clean minor stains and air them out between wears. Frequent washing can degrade the fibers over time.
Can these leggings be used for sports activities?
Yes, their moisture-wicking and breathable properties make them excellent for sports and active play. They move with the body and help regulate temperature during exertion.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Itchiness can sometimes occur if detergent residue remains. Also, confirm the size is correct; too tight can sometimes cause irritation.
Leggings have shrunk after washing
This is likely due to washing at too high a temperature or tumble drying. Hand wash or use a very gentle machine cycle at 30°C and always air dry flat. For minor shrinkage, gentle stretching while damp might help.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is natural for wool and silk blends. To minimize, wash inside out and use a laundry bag. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver if they become excessive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed as a base layer, they pair well with various outer garments, including trousers, jeans, skirts, and snowsuits. They are suitable for both active and casual wear.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the natural fibers.
- Drying: Lay flat to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the wool and silk.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for long periods to prevent stretching.
