How do the wool women's leggings from ENGEL Natur fit?
ENGEL leggings are nicely long and rather slim. So, even if you have longer legs, you will have plenty of length. The wool is supple and moulds to your body as you wear it.
Are you hesitating between two sizes? Then we would recommend the larger size. Especially with leggings, it is nice when the wool is not under unnecessary tension.
Why choose wool leggings instead of synthetic ones?
Because wool has a very special ability: it helps your body regulate its own temperature. Wool retains heat when you need it, but at the same time remains breathable and can absorb moisture without feeling clammy.
That is why these leggings are fantastic under trousers on really cold days. But they are also lovely under a dress or skirt. And once you are used to wool pyjama bottoms, you won't want anything else.
Are 100% wool leggings durable?
Wool is a beautiful natural material, but it is not a synthetic fibre and therefore not indestructible. In areas subject to a lot of friction – for example, between the thighs – pure wool can become thinner over time.
Do you wear wool leggings a lot? Then it might be wise to alternate between two pairs. This gives the wool time to recover in between and extends its lifespan. You can also easily darn a small worn patch or hole. With this fine fabric, it is often barely visible.
Will wool leggings bag at the knees?
Pure wool can shape to your body more while worn and, for instance, stretch slightly at the knees. That is part of the natural material. After careful washing and reshaping, the wool pulls back nicely.
How often do you need to wash wool leggings?
Much less often than you might think! Wool barely absorbs unpleasant odours and has natural self-cleaning properties. Simply hang your leggings outside or in the bathroom overnight after wearing them. Often, that is enough to wear them again the next day.
How do you wash organic wool leggings?
Is washing necessary after all? Wash the leggings gently and cold with a suitable wool detergent. We like to use Lanalicious wool detergent with lanolin for this. The lanolin conditions the wool and helps keep the fibres supple.
After washing, gently reshape them and let them dry lying flat. Do not wring and do not tumble dry.
What can you wear these ENGEL wool leggings for?
Actually for anything where you could use some extra warmth. Under a dress or skirt, as long johns under your jeans or hiking trousers, during a cold bike ride, on the sofa at home, or as lovely natural pyjama bottoms. A simple wool basic, but one that will make you very happy during the colder months.
