I started my diaper stash with mostly pocket diapers & it took me a while to learn why wool was so wonderful. It is now my top pick for night time diapering. After a full night of sleep, Troy will wake & his fitted diaper will be soaked, but my Lanacare cover is dry to the touch on the outside. It keeps him warm even as we see the temperatures starting to drop. | | | Wool, Why is it good in cloth diapering? |
| | | -Wool is comfortable in both hot and cold weather since it is so breathable. -Wool can absorb up to 30 percent of its own weight in moisture before it becomes damp to the touch. While wool can absorb moisture (water vapor), it repels liquids. The scales on the outside of the fiber cause liquid to roll off the surface of the wool fabric. -Wool is so comfortable to wear because its elasticity means garments fit so well and move with your body. -Wool does not need to be washed very often because it is actually “self-cleaning“. When the lanolin (containing fatty acids, having an acidic pH) in the wool reacts with the urea (basic pH) in urine, a chemical reaction occurs. Acids + Bases react to create the end products of water and salt. So the urine is no longer urine - it has been neutralized thanks to this wonderful chemical reaction! Once all lanolin has reacted, you just need to wash and re-lanolize your wool- a very easy process. You can tell wool is ready for treatment when it does not work as good as usual. | | | For December we are giving 10% off ALL wool & wool care! | | | >Wool Sale: | | | Lanacare Soakers, Stacinator by Happy Heiny's, Lanacare Liquid Wool Wash, Sheepich Grins Wool Wash & Spray Lanolin, From Nature With Love Liquid Lanolin, and even our wool breast pads! | | | > Clearance | | | All Original Fuzzi Bunz Stock, solids $13.95 & prints $15.95 Drybees All In One & Pocket Diapers All $11.95 each!
