I don't have one but they look gorgeous! They look like a nice trim fit!

I would buy one if ds would wear one.

They are REALLY nice! Incredibly well made and I love how they fit like shorts. The ones that are up towards $90+ dollars are usually embellished...and now she is making little bugs, bees, etc at the ends of the drawstring....way cute. She also will do different stitches, stripes, etc...

To me, they have been worth the price, but I know not everyone would feel that way.

Here are some photos of a custom wooly pullie I just had made. It is super adorable! The pictures aren't the greatest, I just took them to show Ann how well they fit. It has different colored bugs on the bum and on the drawstrings and it a gorgeous kool aid blue!

If you can get one sometime, I don't think you will be disappointed!

I have two plain WPs, and I really like them. I keep reaching for them at diaper changes. She uses Peruvian Wool (she didn't give me the brand name, though), and they are the softest soakers I have. Granted, the softer the wool, the more it pills, and that does hold true for my WPs. They do fit more like shorts, and I think they run a little big, so they're roomy. I can use these over a thick nighttime diaper no prob unlike my other soakers. Mine are done in the garter stitch, which I find stretchier than my stockinette knit soakers.

Honestly, I think the prices are reasonable for the amount of time that goes into making the soakers, the quality with which they're made, and the CS that comes along w/ the process. I do not wish to buy anymore soakers since I've learned to make my own, but my exception would be another WP.

: (I haven't used the bag smiley before, but since everyone else uses her over and over, I wanted to see what it felt like)

ETA: Picture 1 and Picture 2 of Anwyn in one of her WPs.

We have one and one on the way! I love them

I have 5 and the striking difference is the stitch. It isn't a regular knit-purl stitch. Marsha does a garter stitch and a basketweave stitch and it looks absolutely fabulous.

OK what's a garter stitch? I have a custom slot for a WP and need to make big decisions....

 

[danaalex]

garter is bumpy, knit is flat
basically she knits every row instead of knitting then purling

 

[fluffernutter]

I had one once upon a time. It was beautiful and soft but it bled like crazy. If it weren't for that, I would have loved it.

 

[jmofarrill]

Mine do bleed on the diapers if the diapers are very wet. However, since the she usually uses Kool-Aid, it comes right off the diapers in the wash no prob.

 

[JohnnysGirl]

Anyone have any suggestion on colors, type of knitting stitch, embroidery, etc. I should get on my custom slot? right now I'm thinking perhaps orange, yellow, light blue, and red.... kind of a Hawaiian Shaved Ice type of deal.... all verigated together.

Or.... aqua/blue verigated and a big yellow star on the bum with stars as tassles on the drawstring....

 

[Mom2Sailor]

Just wanted to add that as an owner of a Woolie Pullie, an ebay soaker, a Simply-Sage and a Kool Sheep Soaker I think the Woolie Pullies are worth the money.

Tassels with stars sound SUPER cute! lol

 

[Selissa]

thank you for the education ladies..they sound awsome!!! not that i will ever have the money for any sheep friendly wool...much less one of those..but they do sound lovely!
