My mom knit a couple soakers for my LO and I'm getting ready to prep my CDs! I assume the ones she made need to be lanolinized before use? Once or twice? TIA!
I'm new to wool, but I'm pretty sure you need to lanolinize them. I just wanted to tell you how JEALOUS I am of you! How sweet is that!? My mom has her own stuff going on, she's too busy for us and our cloth diapering shenanigans.
My mom is pretty much the only person I've talked to who's been encouraging about CDing. And she knit such cute little soakers, I don't want to mess them up! I need to figure out the difference between wool wash and lanolin and whatever else I need.
Re: Homemade soakers
They do need to be lanolized. Here is a good tutorial:
