So I am in the mood to wool window shop and am wondering who makes your favorite? I next in line for a custom pair of soaker shorts with a new WAHM but this excitement is just not enough to quench my wool thirst right now.

So give me names and links!

Actually its hardly hyena territory, but I love our Little Lambs wool cover. They've got heaps of elastic and are just more stretchy and comfy than others. Because of this, you can kind of adjust and stretch it to cover any diaper, there's no ruffle sticking out the legs or anything like that. They're one of the few things that look a little weird in the online photos and are really gorgeous in real life. I've got a sugarpeas one which is pretty, but I dont like the lack of elastic across the front panel, since it doesnt cover the very top of one or two of our diapers.

Dont like soakers at all so cant help you there.

Yes. I am becoming wool obsessed too. I think (if I may brag) that I have the 2 most gorgeous wool covers out there, and yes, now they are hard to get. I am so proud of myself for "getting it right" with my wool choices. Wish I had the same luck with my diaper choices. LOL!!!

So anyway, my Kiwi Pie oatmeal cashmere and my Toot sweet italian wool black hand dyed with flowers on it. These are both soooo soft and so well made. Tabitha is taking a break to get ready for her baby to arrive, but I did see there is still a small wool on her web site - it might still be available.

So I am also on a quest to see if I can find more wool as amazing as these covers.

Well I'm a wool fanatic and lately it's been all about the Kiwi Pie. I
have 3 that fit my 10lb one month old wonderfully. He can still wear a small on the smallest snap setting. Plus my oatmeal cashmere 2 layer can last him through the night, should he sleep that long.

Hmm this is a toughie as I really like all of our wool! Right now we are really loving our new BumHuggers soaker.

It is a really hard choice.

: (that smiley is so cute! )

I really love my Tootsweet wool, its the same one the above poster mentioned. It is super duper stretchy and very very soft. Because of all the stretch it will probably fit my 4 month old until she is out of diaper. I am not even kidding, but my kids run small.

I also love my Fuzbombs. They aren't stretchy at all but they are very leak proof and so fluffy soft. When I need something that won't leak I pick a Fuzbomb. They really are beautiful too.

I am also really diggin my Knit in your Pants soaker, but she would be kinda hard to get something from.
I must give an honorable mention to FuzEasy here too. They are very stretchy and I love that, also soft and thin if I am wanting a trim look.

I really love Kiwi Pie, really really love Kiwi Pie. I also love my new Little Bums Wool-On for a trimmer daytime dipe. Added bonus that it's pull up and Vinny can't get it off.

I feel the small tootsweet wool I bought is WAY small. My 1 week old wears it on close to the last snap settings.

But I don't even care because I am so

it.

I have to say that I was able to avoid the hyena craze with diapers, but with wool.... I may get sucked in.

It's all about Kiwi Pie here.

I have 2 (oatmeal cashmerino and angora) and 2 more on the way

and they are definately my faves.

I also have a SP wool jersey cover that works wonderfully for daytime (not sure who has jersey instock but I know www.naturalbabies.com is carrying SP stuff) and a Fuz Easy Wool cover that is really trim and good for daytime (it had to go back to Lori for a pulled out snap and it's on it's way home now) I think she almost always has the natural color instock, and it's not a very long wait time if you want to have one dyed. www.fuzbaby.com

Coming at it from a different angle...

I fell in love w/ lots of wool at first: Mosaic Moon, Kool Sheep Soakers, Little Turtle Knits, Righteous Baby, and lots more. The I decided I needed to learn how to knit on my own and "save" my money by knitting soakers for Anwyn myself! I just finished her first one and am more than half done with her second one. I have a couple of patterns right now (Fern & Faerie and Little Turtle Knits) and there a several more I'm looking to purchase, so there is a lot of potential variety. You can really get what you want if you are willing to put the time into knitting your own soakers!

I love my Bizzy B Hive wool so so much! The fit is perfect for my kids and her organic wool is so soft. I have finally found a soaker that fits my DS and that is Holy Sheep Yarns. Sugarpeas is always a good staple too. I just love it all

Have to go with the Kiwi Pie. I have six. Does that tell you anything?

Also for trimness I like patchwork Pixie...but I have three loveybums on the way, and they look great too. I am excited to see and try them.
I use jersey wool undepants and my kiwi's under dresses...I have two ivory broadcloths that are great with matching everything from her that are wonderful. Some say cashmere is not that great for overnight but we have a lot of luck when we use the pink cashmere for extended periods....usually naptime is when the cashmere goes on her.
Pixie's are good for extended naps too. I like how I can still get jeans over her bum with that and a sugarpea. I did notice some felting on my pixies after handwashing in Euclaran....Kiwi's still look super d dooper and I think Maria needs to raise her prices.

Hm, I love all my wool. :} I reach for the FCB when I want super trim, the Fuz when it has to be trim and absolutely no leaks, BBH and IvyRose for cuteness...oh and Wooly Bumbums because they are just too cute and super reliable, the lone Tuesday Bear cover I have is gorgeous but doesn't fit the best, so it only gets worn when we want beauty over the best fit... and of course soakers.

heck I even have a couple Little Fishy Cuddlewool covers that don't fit well (they are front snap) but I use them anyway because the applique is so nice and they work great!

Bah, I admit it. I have a wool harem and I love them all equally!

Right now, my favorite wool cover is our soaker from Holy Sheep Yarns. It fits Noah so perfectly. I just know he's about to outgrow it.
