Knitted Wool nappy covers from Natural Knits for Nippers
Knitted woolen nappy wraps, shorties, longies and skirts
Wool is the perfect natural material for making nappy wraps and we are proud to be able to offer this luxurious range of woollen nappy wraps, shorties, longies and skirts. They are hand-knitted by a Work at Home Mum (WAHM) local to us in North Wales. The wool used is currently from Blue Faced Leicester sheep reared in the UK and is wonderfully thick and soft. It is hand dyed in the UK too. The result is a beautiful, soft and comfy, completely "home grown", nappy cover. Pure luxury for your little one! As well as making beautiful, practical nappy covers, the shorties, longies and woollen skirts will provide a water-resistant cover for your baby's nappies and can also be worn as items of outer clothing and make a lovely gift for a baby.

Options
Available as a simple knitted cover (wool soaker, as shown above) which is pulled up over the nappy and can be adjusted with a tie at the waist.

These are also available as "shorties", "longies" or "Flirty Skirties" . These knitted shorts- or long trousers-style or skirt-style nappy wraps are perfect to wear as a nappy cover. They allow air to circulate, wetness to evaporate and the nappy to "breathe" without wicking through onto clothing. They are beautifully soft and comfortable so perfect for pyjama bottoms. Alternatively these attractive hand-knits will coordinate with many outfits and look great as day time clothing too, suitable for all but the warmest weather due to wool's natural temperature-regulating properties.

Soakers, shorties and longies are available in Raspberry (a kind of rich raspberry and blackberry ripple) or Marine (a blend of beautiful sea-blues). Because these woollen clothes are a hand-dyed natural product there may be some variation in the colour from those shown in the pictures.

Flirty Skirties are the perfect way for your little one to show off her cloth bottom, especially with a pair of coordintating or contrasting babylegs underneath for the winter! Available is a pretty coral pink.

Sizing
As with all nappy covers, sizing will depend on baby's shape. Here are approximate weight guidelines to help you get the right size, as well as measurements at the thigh (measure round the top of your baby's leg), waist and rise (measure baby from front to back where you would expect the wrap to come up to).
