sewing wool covers

[AinNJ]

i'm eyeing up some wool jersey to make diaper covers. has anyone used wool jersey before? i don't know if i should use 2 layers or if 1 layer will be enough.

any suggestons?

I love wool jersey. First of all I felt the hec out of it by machine washing and drying it in a hot dryer 3 or 4 times. This will thicken it up and then you can decide if you want to use 2 layers. I personal use 2 layers for my girls covers and 1 layer when I make pants. Have fun and happy sewing. And don't forget to thank those industrious little sheep!

Most WAHMs use 2 layers of felted wool jersey. I actually like to use one layer of interlock(outside layer) and a layer of jersey(inside layer). But it's all about personal preference I'd buy a few yds of whatever you want and try it out and see what way YOU like to make them

and 1 layer when I make pants

as in soaker pants? why are you only using 1 layer for the pants?

do you have a good, competitively priced supplier? i'm looking at diapershop.com, but their prices are a little higher than most for hemp (my diaper fabric of choice). i don't know if their wool prices are competitive or not.

thanks for the help!
