Get Your Woolies from Little Green Viking!

You may or may not have heard of using wool for a diaper cover before. I know the first time I heard of this, I was like WHAT?? It just sounded really strange. So, I decided to give it a try! I had heard so many moms raving about their babies woolies, now it was my turn to check it out.

One of the places that I bought wool from was Little Green Viking. And a few months ago, I was asked to be a tester for an brand new style! After using a pattern available through cottage licensing, The woman behind it all, Sigrid, decided to make her own pattern.

I have to say, she did a fabulous job! I tested out a recycled wool soaker, made from a pretty old sweater. We used it both during the day and over night. I have to confess, we mostly use disposables over night now, since my kids pee a river in their sleep. But you know what? Disposables leek. And that sucks. So I put the soaker over top of the disposable for night to keep their beds dry.

Wool has great properties. It doesn't need to be washed after each use, just air dry, and use again! It helps your child's bottom to get some air, and not keep all that moisture sealed in. Very useful in preventing diaper rash!

The cut of the Little Green Viking soaker is nice and full over the bum, and comes down the hips slightly, to give great coverage over any diaper. At this point, Bria is just barely still fitting into the medium, at 2 years old. I think she could probably use a little more length in the rise, but we can still make it work. The recycled wool is slightly stretchy, and interlock is really soft and stretchy! I have purchased interlock from Little Green Viking in the past, and it's excellent quality.

So if you're hesitating because you're not sure, I say, go for it! Give wool a try! You can also find Little Green Viking at dot CA, an all Canadian Hyena Cart Congo!
