The Wonders of Wool

This weekend I received a couple of pieces of wool, both up cycled from either cashmere sweaters or virgin merino wool goods. Last night was the first time I tried a wool diaper over a cloth diaper. The wool diaper cover pictured is made by TarynStuff.

I put DD in a bumGenius 4.0 stuffed with a microfiber insert and slipped the wool cover over it. From 10:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. DD slept. When she woke up the outside cover was dry to the touch without any outside wicking or leaking. The bumGenius 4.0 diaper was thoroughly soaked and heavy. Typically if DD had a heavy diaper in the morning the surrounding sheets had a 50/50 chance of being damp from wicking either out the legs or up towards the belly button.

I lanolized this cover with Naturally Luxe lanolin spray in raspberry patchouli before wearing. This only needs to be done about once every 2-3 days then washed with wool wash every week or two. I do have a bar of Naturally Luxe organic wool wash in bar form. I will give a review when it is used. As for the lanolin spray it smells divine and leaves the wool soft and conditioned.
