Women's 100% Organic Merino Wool Leggings

Soft, warm and easy to wear, these Women's 100% Organic Merino Wool Leggings by Engel Natur are designed for those who want a true wool thermal layer without synthetic fibres. Made from 200gsm 100% organic merino virgin wool, they offer breathable warmth for winter, while the fine rib knit keeps them stretchy and comfortable enough to wear on their own in spring and autumn. A regular fit and non-constricting elastic waistband make them equally suited to layering under clothes, relaxing at home, or wearing as sleepwear.

These leggings are slightly thicker and warmer than Engel's wool/silk blend version, so they are a good choice if warmth is your priority. They are made in Germany, with merino fibre sourced from Argentina, and are IVN BEST certified - the highest ecological and social textile standard. Pure wool is biodegradable, and the dyes are free from heavy metals and harmful AZO-dyes.

Why choose these merino leggings?

If you're comparing premium merino basics, the key difference here is the combination of warmth, comfort and fibre purity. The 200gsm organic merino knit gives you reliable thermal performance as a winter base layer, while still feeling soft and breathable against the skin. The fine rib structure adds stretch for movement and fit, and the waistband is designed to sit comfortably without digging in.

They are best for:

• winter layering under dresses, skirts or outerwear
• wearing on their own through spring and autumn
• sleepwear or lounge wear when you want warmth without bulk
• buyers specifically looking for 100% merino rather than a wool/silk blend

A matching top is also available if you'd like to build a full merino base layer set.

How to Choose Your Size:  

Engel Natur uses EU bracket sizing, so it's best to choose by your body measurements rather than relying only on your usual AU size. We've provided both EU and approximate AU equivalents, but your waist and hip measurements will be the best guide for fit.

Where to measure:

• Bust: fullest part around chest
  
• Waist: natural waist, narrowest point
• Hips: widest point around hips/bottom

Fit advice: Regular fit, very slightly looser fit than the wool/silk leggings, the fine rib fabric is very stretchy and waistband elastic non-constricting.

Machine Washable: Handwashing best but can be washed on a cold machine wool wash with a natural Enzyme-free wool shampoo like Sonett(see our guide to washing wool) - reshaping before drying is important to maintain length and shape with all wool clothing.

Care guidance for long wear:  Handwashing is best for preserving the shape and finish of these leggings. They can also be washed on a cold machine wool cycle using a natural enzyme-free wool shampoo such as Sonett, but reshaping before drying is important to help maintain length and shape. If you plan to use a machine wool cycle regularly, we advise sizing up, as shrinkage may occur over time. Because wool washing programmes vary widely between machines, cold water is recommended. Washing at 30 degrees can still create fibre shock if the rinse runs cold, which may cause shrinkage. For ongoing care consult Wool Care. 

Note on using machine wash: Wool washing programmes of washing machines vary massively, therefore we can not grant warranty for any damages.

IVN BEST is the highest ecological standard that can currently be achieved in the textile industry, taking into account environmental & social welfare. The IVN BEST certification is only awarded to textiles made from 100% organically produced natural fibres. The certification takes into account all the environmental effects of the entire production process, from production of the fibres to the finished garment, along with high social welfare standards for all companies involved in the process.
