Wool Put to Use
Wool has been the single best diapering solution I have found.
When Daphne was almost a year old, I started to experiment with making wool diaper covers. In fact, the first sewing project much less the first diaper I completed was a wool cover. I used that cover for a long time. Some other wool covers I made at the time are sitting on my wall of wool (yes I have one) waiting for Cyprus to grow into it.
I also made some wool covers for Cyprus. I think that there is nothing more fun to make for a baby than sets of woolies. I’m still knitting away making pants and a sweater for Cyprus because it is so much fun.
One night, I put Cyprus down on the bed while I was trying to finish up some housework, and I couldn’t resist the adorableness of a naked baby wearing a hand sewn, hand embroidered wool diaper cover.

I am loving the wool covers that I made. I have never had them leak one single time. I did have to handle some issues with the dyes not being totally colorfast, but I have fixed that now. Let me tell you that woolies rock.




Hi. I just found your website today. It sounds like you have your cloth diapering system down. I really want to make some wool diaper covers but was wondering where you buy your felted wool from. Any help would be great. I used cloth diapers with my last child but I really want to use wool for my baby due in January. THANKS
