Wool for covers

[amysuen]

I want to sew some wool covers for my ds, but I'm totally new to wool. Do I need to order wool from an online diaper fabric source, or can I get 100% wool from the local fabric store and lanolize it?

Wool for covers

My local Joann fabric store does not carry 100% wool. I have ordered it from the One Stop Diaper Shop (www.diapershop.com) they have some nice wool jersey. I have made many covers from her wool jersey and I like 'em a lot. You have to wash/felt it first so it shrinks a lot. I also go ahead and wash it in Eucalan wool wash before I start to sew.

I have a related question for anyone else who may know: I found some totally AWESOME soft wool covers- they're almost like a wool fleece fabric (similar to hemp fleece - very soft and fluffy) and I would love to find this somewhere - anyone have a source for wool fleece fabric (or whatever this is)?

These are the only ones that I know of right now. You should be able to find something out of ither of these co ops

I got some great 100% wool fabric at our local Hancock's. Bright red and it felted up beautifully. Now I just have to sew up a cover and lanolize it....one more project!!
