DS is three and I've never used a wool soaker on him. My knitting skills have improved drastically since he was a baby and I'm interested in knitting my own soakers for my baby who is due in October. They're just so cute! Anyhow, a few questions:
1. I use prefolds only. I assume I'll have to fasten these with a snap before I pull on the soaker?
2. Do I simply wash a 100% wool soaker in cold water with Euclean or a similar wool cleaner?
3. How often do wool soakers need to be laundered?
4. Do they really not leak? I'm so used to having some sort of synthetic material blocking the prefold from the outside world that it's hard to believe moisture wouldn't go right through a wool soaker.
5. I've seen patterns for wool longies online. I assume that when you put your baby in longies, they have some sort of diaper cover on in addition to the prefold/longies?
Thanks!
