Description
Do you want an incredibly breathable, gentle and beautiful cover for your cloth nappies which are soft against babies skin leaving no sock marks even overnight?
Want a seriously environmentally friendly and sustainable option for use with your baby?
Then a wool wrap might be for you!
Handmade in the Peak District by Cheryl and her mum these wool covers are made with 100% extra fine merino wool and are the perfect cover for your cloth nappies.
Unlike PUL or fleece covers, these wonderful wool wraps don’t shed ANY microplastics in to our oceans (read more about this here) and once in regular use only need to be gently handwashed every 3 weeks (sometimes even longer) as long as they don’t come in to contact with poo.
Wool wraps are also brilliant for heavy wetting babies, babies in hot climates, with sensitive skin or eczema as it allows their skin to breathe. Wool is a wonderful textile; in the summer it keeps baby cool and, in the winter, helps keep them warm. It is an incredible natural fabric..
We currently stock four different sizes
Small: 0-3 months
Medium: 3-12 months
Large: 12-24 months
Extra large: 2-4 years
The wraps in this listing are 'large'. All wool covers come in a colour matching presentation bag and with printed instructions for use.

These wool wraps need to be lanolised before use, information about what this means is below.

How to use
Once your wool wrap is lanolised, simply pull up over your flat nappy fitted to baby and off you go. As long as the nappy is well boosted, and not completely sopping wet, then you should have no leaks.
Some people are put off wool due to the lanolising process, but if you know how to make a lasagne or make a frothy fancy coffee at home then we would suggest that you are equally capable of lanolising a beautiful wool cover! And we stock everything you need to do this in beautiful non sheepy smelling (lanolin comes from sheep wool) scents using the Poppets Wool Care products.
When you get your wool wrap gently handwash it in tepid water using wool soap or baby bath/soap. What we mean by handwashing is: submerge in water, gently massage, leave it for a bit, turn inside out and repeat.
Then lanolise your wool twice before use, detailed descriptions on how to do this can be found here.
Dry and then put on baby, allow to air each day and then just hand wash every month or so! Your wool cover will need lanolising at each wash but you can use the lanolin maintenance spray between washes to help boost the lanolin and keep smelling divine!
We have a ‘Love your Wool Bundle’ here which will allow you to purchase a wool wrap and all the poppets goodies to provide you a beautifully smelling and reliable wool cover. Buying this bundle saves you 15% across the Poppets Wool Care range rather than buying the items separately.
How to wash
Handwash only. Do not wring out, simply press, excess liquid out and lay flat to dry (do not hang from a line). More information and guidance here.
