Med Fair Isle Footie Longies

Description

I fashion my wool diaper wraps, soakers and longies from only the softest 100% wool sweaters in excellent condition. I pay very close attention to quality, and hand select each sweater for superior softness and design.

Wool is a wonderful option for diaper covers. Natural fibers are wonderful for the environment as well as healthier for baby's delicate skin. Wool is water resistant so baby's clothes stay dry, and breathable to keep diaper rash at bay. Wool also helps baby temperature regulate, keeping baby cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Wool is naturally antimicrobial and does not need washed after each wearing, as the natural lanolin in the wool eliminates odors as it airs.

These super soft longies are made from 100% wool sweater. Size Medium. They have a great fair isle design in the feet, and a contrasting waistband. The extra high ribbed waistband can easily be folded over for optimum adjustability. They feature a crotch gusset for ease of movement and durability, and footies to keep those tootsie toes warm. (Warning, these may be slippery on a hard wood floor. I'd be happy to add puffed paint grippies to the bottom of the feet for no extra charge. Please let me know when checking out and allow an extra day or two for the paint to fully dry before shipping.)

Care instructions:
Care instructions will also be included with your purchase. Wool does not need to be washed after each wearing. Simply air out between diaper changes. I like to have at least two wool covers so that I can air one while the other is being worn, and rotate through out the day. Wash your wool when it becomes soiled, or about every two weeks. Hand wash in cool water with a no-rinse wool wash (do not use Woolite). Squeeze water gently through wool to clean. Gently squeeze out excess water, and roll in a dry towel to absorb any extra water. Lay flat to dry. If wool begins to loose its water repellent properties, it is time to relanolize. Melt a small amount of lanolin (I use Lansinoh brand available at Target in the bottles and breastfeeding section) in very hot water, and add to the cool water. Squeeze through the wool, let soak for about 30 minutes, and squeeze out excess water. Do not rinse. Roll in a towel to absorb extra water and lay flat to dry.
