Starter Package

The package is the perfect introduction into the wonderful world of wool nappies, for beginners and experienced cloth nappy users. It contains one wool cover of your choice, lanolin for greasing, a sample bag of green olive soap flakes, and five different absorbing inserts. The wool cover is made of 100% organic merino wool. The cover must be combined with absorbing inserts and greased with wool fat (lanolin) before first use to get water-repellent. The wool is dyed with vegetable dyes and knitted or spun in Germany. The main dyes used are madder root, mignonette, indigo, yellowwood, logwood, and redwood. A wonderfully natural fabric whose components are sustainably obtained and processed. Wool nappies made of pure wool are soft, stretchable, and extra tight due to the two layers of wool.   Size guide The wool cover is available in three sizes: Size 1 (ca. 4-7 kg), size 2 (ca. 7-12 kg) and size 3 (ca. 11-16 kg). Please note that the weight information of the sizes can only be an estimate, as the fit depends on the stature of the respective child.   Possible combination of inserts When combining absorbent inserts, there is a rule of thumb that must be observed: Fast-absorbing cotton should always be in contact with the child, with hemp inserts placed underneath. Hemp absorbs more moisture than cotton, but relatively slowly.

• The cotton flat is tripled along the long side and directly placed in the wool cover. Make sure that the flat reaches the edge of the cover, but not beyond. Otherwise leakage is likely to occur.
• For more absorbency, the cotton flat is combined with a hemp booster: along the entire length (booster – long) or selectively (booster – short) where the absorption needs to be greatest. For boys more at the front and for girls in the middle of the cover.
• The hemp flat is placed directly in the wool cover. Fold the flat along the long side for covers of size 1 and along the short side for covers of sizes 2 and 3. You must combine it with a cotton liner or muslin nappy. Pure cotton quickly absorbs moisture and directs it downwards where it is stored in the hemp flat.

A wool washing soap is highly recommended for minor stains. The soap contains lanolin and greases the wool directly when it is washed. In the long term, over-greasing of the wool cover is hence avoided. In this blog you read more about how to use a wool washing soap.   Processing time: 5-10 working days
