Wool?

  I can't help you on inexpensive wool options because I have only used Kissakuvs and Sloomb.  They both work great for me.  I think most will covers will work great as long as they are lanolized properly (a lot of lanolin!).  I would lanolize any wool you receive even if it came pre-lanolized.  I use Eucalin wool wash and Lansinoh lanolin.  Here's a great step by step procedure for washing and lanolizing wool: https://paddedtushstats.com/2013/03/06/the-quick-and-easy-way-to-wash-and-lanolize-wool-cloth-diaper-covers/

  I have a cute cover off Etsy, but it's too thin to use at night. I use Sloomb for night. Which aren't cheap. As for wash and lanolin I use CJ's Wool Wash and Sheepish Grins lanolin (either liquid or solid). I also use the CJ's sprits to use when it needs a little boost between washings.

  I like green mountain diapers for information on cleaning and care. I have purchased disana wool from amazon and eBay for fairly cheap.

  I would think the cheapest options might be to make your own, either by upcycling a wool sweater or if you knit or crochet.

  
  

  I just finished knitting one that took 7/10 of a £6 hank, which is about $9. So materials cost me about $6.30, and the rest is labor which I don't track.

  Tonight is our inaugural run of our myecobaby cover--I'll let you know how it goes. I can say she shipped my cover and longies out super fast!
