FAQs
Are these hipsters suitable for very sensitive skin?
Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and silk is exceptionally soft and naturally hypoallergenic, making it ideal for children with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, typically based on age and height measurements. The specified size '3-4' corresponds to a UK children's size of that range.
Can these hipsters be worn year-round?
Absolutely. The natural properties of merino wool and silk help regulate body temperature, making them suitable for both warm and cold weather.
What is pointelle?
Pointelle is a type of knitting technique that creates a delicate, often patterned, openwork effect on the fabric. It adds a subtle texture to the hipsters.
How often should I wash these hipsters?
It depends on usage. For everyday wear, washing after each use is recommended. Merino wool has natural antibacterial properties, so they can sometimes be aired out and reworn if lightly used.
What is the main advantage of the silk in the blend?
Silk adds an extra layer of smoothness and a luxurious feel to the garment, enhancing comfort and reducing friction against the skin, while complementing the wool's thermal properties.
Troubleshooting
Hipsters feel itchy after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Excessive heat during washing or drying can also cause damage. Check that the care label instructions have been followed precisely.
Material seems to be losing elasticity.
This can occur if exposed to high heat during washing or drying, or if harsh detergents were used. Always use a gentle wool cycle and air dry. Avoid stretching the garment excessively when wet.
Color fading.
Washing with wool-specific detergents and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight during drying can help maintain color vibrancy. Wash inside out to protect the outer surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed as children's underwear, they are compatible with any standard outer clothing for everyday wear, school, or sleep.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the natural fibers.
- Drying: It is best to air dry these hipsters. Lay them flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Avoid high temperatures, which can damage the wool and silk fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding too tightly to prevent creasing.
