Full details

These DILLING leggings are designed for children aged 9-10, offering a premium base layer made from a soft blend of 70% organic merino wool and 30% silk. The key benefit is superior comfort and temperature regulation, keeping your child warm and dry during play or sleep.

FAQs

Can these leggings be worn directly against the skin?

Yes, the blend of organic merino wool and silk is exceptionally soft and designed to be comfortable against delicate skin, making them ideal as a base layer or even as pajamas.

How do I wash my child's merino wool and silk leggings?

Machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C or 40°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry.

Will the leggings shrink if I wash them?

If washed and dried according to the care instructions (gentle wool cycle, low heat drying or flat drying), the wool fibers will naturally contract slightly to regain their shape. Excessive heat or agitation can lead to unwanted shrinkage.

Are these leggings suitable for summer wear?

Yes, merino wool is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, making it suitable for year-round wear. It helps keep children cool by wicking away moisture in warmer conditions.

What is the pointelle pattern?

The pointelle pattern is a decorative knitting technique that creates small, openwork holes, adding a delicate and aesthetically pleasing detail to the leggings, particularly noticeable at the ankle cuffs.

How does merino wool regulate temperature?

Merino wool fibers have a unique structure that can trap air, providing insulation in cold weather. In warmer conditions, the fibers wick moisture away from the skin, promoting cooling through evaporation.

What is the benefit of the silk blend?

The addition of silk enhances the softness and smooth feel of the fabric, making it even more comfortable against sensitive skin and adding a subtle sheen to the material.

Troubleshooting

Leggings feel stretched out after wear

This is normal for wool blends. Lay the leggings flat to dry after washing, and the wool fibers will naturally contract to their original shape.

Skin irritation

Although made for sensitive skin, if irritation occurs, ensure you are using a wool-specific, mild detergent and that the garment is rinsed thoroughly. Consider a patch test if sensitivity is a concern.

Garment shrinkage after washing

Ensure you are washing on a gentle wool cycle at the recommended temperature (30°C or 40°C) and using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat in washing or drying.
