So we make them anyway. Warm enough for a 20°F walk and thin enough to disappear under your jeans, and gorgeous enough to wear on their own. We’d rather sell you one pair that lasts than four pairs that don’t.
Shop Stella Leggings
When a big brand makes a legging, somebody opens a spreadsheet and asks how cheap the fabric can get before customers notice.
We don’t have that meeting.
Woolx started as a family clothing store in 1949. Today, it’s still run by the father-daughter team who transformed that store with a simple idea: make clothing that feels incredible, performs even better, and never cuts corners on quality.
That matters more than it should. There’s no boardroom asking us to protect a margin. No investor telling us to save a few dollars. We’re just a family that has to put their name behind what we make, look customers in the eye, and answer the phone number at the bottom of this page.
So, a high quality and thoughtfully designed legging? We won’t apologize for that.
“Was gifted a pair of Stella leggings and a top for Christmas. Found I was living in my Stellas so purchased a second pair. Love them!”
Deborah D. · Verified CustomerBe cold and able to move—or look like the Michelin man?
You know the feeling. You pull thermals under your jeans and suddenly nothing sits right. The waistband digs. Your boots go tight. You look thicker than you did five minutes ago. Don’t even get me started on how sweaty you’ll be after 30 minutes.
That’s the trade every cold morning asks you to make. Stay warm or stay comfortable. Pick one.
These don’t make you choose. 330 grams of Australian Merino, our heaviest weight, gives you serious warmth without the bulk—and breathes so you don’t overheat the second you step inside. It’s knit around a nylon and spandex core, so it holds its shape instead of bagging out by lunch and adds durability.
Customers wear them alone below freezing. They still vanish under everything. Real winter warmth, and you still look good.
Shop Stella Leggings“I walked for at least 30 minutes almost every day all winter, rain, snow or shine. When the temperature was below 20F I wore my Stella with a thin baselayer and when it was above 20F I wore it by itself. From very cold to moderate weather, they kept me comfortably warm. I have tried many cold weather walking pants, but my Stellas are now what I will wear.”
P. A. · Verified CustomerThe itch you’re thinking of comes from thick, coarse fibers. They’re stiff enough to stand up and poke at your skin, and a whole sweater’s worth of them feels worse than sandpaper.
Merino is different. Its fibers are much finer, so they bend against your skin instead of pressing into it.
Ours takes that even further. We use ultra-fine Australian Merino chosen specifically for softness. It’s the kind of soft our customers have a hard time believing is actually wool. That’s right—women who swore off wool decades ago can’t get enough.
Still not sure? Maya wasn’t either.
“I ordered the large and when I tried them on, I wasn’t sure about the texture on the inside because it felt a little scratchy. I decided to wash them and try them again and they were much softer and very comfortable. These leggings were PERFECT in every way and I’m going to order more. Excellent quality, comfy for a sensory person and very warm.”
Maya S. · Verified Customer“When they arrived it was an 80 degree day in New Orleans and when I tried them on they felt just a little itchy. I waited a few days until the temperature dropped into the 60’s and tried them on again. They were absolutely perfect.”
Amy N. · Verified CustomerOur heaviest fabric weight, from Australian farms. Ethically sourced, always. Wool this fine at this weight is the single most expensive line item in the garment.
All the performance of Merino, wrapped around a Nylon and Spandex core for increased durability, stretch, and washability. It’s a slower, costlier way to build the yarn, but it’s what sets our leggings apart.
Contoured back seams. A crotch construction built to prevent camel toe. Three inseam lengths and a broad range of sizes. “Close enough” isn’t a fit. These were designed for you.
These aren’t just for looks—they were built to take on the cold.
Warmth without overheating? Yes, please. Merino adapts to your body to keep you comfy.
Wear it more, wash it less. No stink, no stress.
Natural breathability, because your skin wasn’t meant to suffocate.
Packs light, resists wrinkles, stays fresh for days. Sink-washable overnight.

You’re the one with the space heater under your desk. The one who brings a sweater when everyone else says it’s “not that cold.” You’ve tried doubling up, but two layers just means more bulk and less room in your jeans.
Stella is warm enough on its own, so you can finally stop dressing around the thermostat.
You need warmth—but you also need to move, pack light, and wear the same thing again tomorrow. Merino breathes when you heat up, dries fast, and doesn’t hold onto odor. Combine that with packing small and wearing on repeat—you’ve got a traveler’s dream come true.
Customers have taken theirs to Iceland, Banff, Scotland, and even Antarctica.
You need to be warm. But you also deserve to wear what you want. Stella’s sleek fit, high waist, and contoured back seams give you a flattering fit that works under a dress, under jeans, under ski pants—or completely on its own with boots.
“Banff Canada top of Sulphur Mountain. Temperature in the 20’s F. Warm as warm can be! Feels more like nice slacks instead of typical leggings.”
Rebecca S. · Verified CustomerYou’ve bought the cheap ones. Probably more than once. They pill after a few washes, they bag at the knee by lunch, and they were never warm enough to actually replace anything. So you bought more.
Four pairs of leggings you don’t reach for is not cheaper than one pair you wear all winter.
Here’s the honest argument. Go read the reviews and count how many open with “this is my second pair.” Or third. Or fourth. Nobody buys the same leggings four times to be polite about it. Nobody re-buys a mistake.
“I purchased these for a trip to Antarctica. I was quite pleased with the functionality of them. They kept me warm as a base layer or wearing them alone. … The price of these was my biggest hesitation, but I am glad that I made the leap.”
Shelley M. · Verified Customer“These leggings are so worth the money. I have tried multiple brands and had a problem spending the money for this brand but am trying to have a merino wardrobe for travel. This is my second pair. … They keep their shape, wash easy in the sink, dry quickly. They are not itchy.”
L K B. · Verified Customer“I’ve always bought cheap leggings from Old Navy or Amazon. These were the perfect amount of support, without being tight. They held their shape all day and kept me warm.”
Blanche S. · Verified CustomerNobody thinks about wool leggings in a warm house. You think about them the morning you walk outside and your legs go numb through your jeans.
Stella gives you a warm layer you can wear alone or under the clothes you already love. Find your fit now, and you’ll be ready whenever cold weather arrives.

“I just purchased my fourth pair of leggings. For the severe cold and snowy weather this winter, they have been a Godsend! I will be traveling to Scotland in mid April where it will be cool and wet, and I look forward to packing several pairs.”
Karen B. · Verified Customer“These leggings fit so well! The waist is snug without being overly tight. And the waistband is wide so it doesn’t slide down. Good stretch, too.”
Katherine R. · Verified Customer“They look great on this 81 year old body—but better than the look they feel great. Comfortable, which to me means not too snug and the fabric is not itchy. I can wear them with another pair of pants for greater warmth or on a warmer day just wear them alone. I am very happy.”
Caitlin W. · Verified Customer“Stella leggings are a perfect addition to my wardrobe. As a retiree, I find them to be a versatile piece that works under knit dresses and tunic style tops. Woolx products are warm, but breathable and seem to adapt to the climate. They’re the most comfortable pieces in my wardrobe!”
Carol F. · Verified Customer“This is the second pair of Stella leggings I’ve bought. They are the perfect cold weather mountain leggings, but also look cute going out to dinner.”
