Protect against leaks: Wool Soakers are a great nighttime solution over disposable diapers too.
SIZE: Small 0-9 months
READY TO SHIP, lanolized and ready to go!!
This is a soft, super soft, light-weight wool soaker, with drawstring. It is crocheted, so it is thicker and tougher than the hand-knit soaker. Breathes; so it can worn in the summer! It is made out of Fine Italian Merino Wool. Sizing really depends on the dimensions of the baby. Pull the drawstring tighter and fold top down to adjust for smaller babies. The soaker comes pre-washed and lanolized (if you want it unwashed, let me know). This is very important to prevent leaks. The soaker can be worn over a cloth diaper; fitted or pre-fold, as well as disposables. Also make a great pair of capris shorts for spring/summer/fall seasons.
Note: Please allow up to 7 days from date of order until date this item is shipped.
CARE: All wool soakers should be hand washed in lukewarm to warm water, never too hot. Extreme temperatures may ruin the shape and feel. Wool is a natural fiber that has inherent antibacterial properties, so wet soakers need only be left to dry. When solids get on the soaker, make sure to give it a hand-wash with special wool detergent, I use Imse Vimse's wool care product, but any special wool soap will do. If the soaker feels like its not holding its weight in wetness, and seems to be leaking right away, it may need to be lanolized. To do this, take a large pea-sized amount of lanolin and dissolve it in about a cup or so of boiling hot water. Then add this to lukewarm water (about half a sink-full) and a splash of wool soap. Add your soaker to this mixture, making sure to remove all solids before submersion. Do not wring the soaker, instead swish and scrub gently. Let stand for at least a half hour. Do not rinse, pat dry with a towel.
