FTM Q: Wool?

Raggedy1

Do I want my newbie stash to include wool?  I'm doing GMD prefolds and workhorse fitteds with covers for 75% of the time, with a small stash (16 for my twins) of newborn AIOs & pockets to try out different brands before committing to any one brand for the OS phase.  

I'm intrigued by wool covers for night time.  Which brand should I try if I take the plunge?  I am NOT a DIY/crafty mom, so I'm looking for brand recommendations.

I like my disana brand,they are very affordable and they have front 0 to 6 months,6 to 12 months,12 to 24 months and 2 to 3 t 3 to 4 t sides.

I just got two covers,I got a free shipping and with the coupon that i used I got 2 oz of lanolin and a 4 oz of wool bar soap,so i don't have to be worry about buying more covers and lanolin,I think a have a lot for the rest of the year.

I feel like the advantage of wool is for those longer stretches when baby starts to STTN, and it gives you a breathable system that can still contain pee.

For the cost I would say it's not worth it at the NB stage, but it certainly doesn't hurt to have wool at any stage, if money is no object.

I got my first taste of wool from an Etsy store, Evelynsfavediapers. She takes measurements and makes covers out of wool scraps. Since she uses scraps, they're super cheap, but the color choices are somewhat limited. I liked mine, though! I never tried the name brands, so I'm no help there.

Woolybottoms upcycled soakers are cheap and double layer so work very well. One of my faves that is very easy to find AND care for is Wild Coconut Wear they are double layer interlock so extremely durable, bulletproof and machine washable.
