Where to buy wool covers?

[MrsErinnElizabeth]

I've just started considering wool covers, but don't have any idea where to start looking! Do they come in sizes or are they mostly OSFM? Would they fit a newborn?

If anyone has any experiences to share or good places to find wool covers, I would be so appreciative! :)

well, do wou want a cover as such (like a PUL cover) or someting more like soaker/shorties/longies?

mostly they are sized (i've found) similar with most covers

for cover style covers baby beehinds has some on sale atm
for soaker ones ozebaby has some and a fair few WAHM knit them up

also MCN shops sell a variety, nurture nappies has a few to have a look at

i haven't used wool covers yet but i'm getting a soaker knitted up for me (yay!) soon as i've just got my first fitted night nappy

wool covers also need to be lanolised (sp?) but you can get into that later lol

oh and there are also fleece covers!

Thank you so much for that!

I'm planning on getting a few PUL covers as well, but thought I might also pick up a couple wool soakers and longies (the longies are so cute!).

I've heard the soakers are good for night or when you want baby's bum to 'breathe' a little bit. Is that correct?

[bubbleandme]

yeah, you're right lol

the thing with wool is that it can suffer compression leaks, which i believe is why it's not usually used during the day but it is more breathable as it's a natural fibre

i don't know if you're a knitter but there are lots of patterns out there to knit your own soakers/longies you just need to use 100% wool

most people (if they used fitteds) use PUL in the day, then wool/fleece at night

agreed, the longies are gorgeous! i wish a had a girl a little bit though, the girly woolies are just beautiful! lol in saying that though, the soaker i'm getting knitted up is black and purple!

I know what you mean about the girl longies! I've been drooling over them ever since I discovered they existed. Luckily (or unluckily for my pocketbook!) I'm having a little girl so I get to go to town with the cuteness. Woohoo! ;)
