Merino Wool cover from Swaddlebees

Machine washable, merino wool nappy cover. Price £17.99
*Now available with poppers or hook and loop fastening* A delightfully soft, stretchy and trim nappy wrap made from merino wool. Wool is of course the 'bees knees' fabric for nappy covers, due to being naturally soft and breathable. Wool has water resistant properties which make it an effective barrier between nappy and clothing, and if you want to go for the natural nappy option, wool if the perfect cover fabric.

These merino wool nappy covers are made from two full layers of the the finest 100% Peruvian Merino wool, custom knitted to Swaddlebees' specifications. Extremely soft and stretchy, these covers provide a snug fit and good coverage over prefold or shaped/fitted nappies.

Swaddlebees wool wraps fasten at the sides with poppers, giving a neat profile. With four possible waist and leg settings they can be adjusted to fit your baby's unique shape. The cut of these wraps will suit babies with chubby or skinny thighs equally well. The mention of wool usually conjures up snuggly thick fabrics, but the fabric of these wraps is extremely trim and will not add bulk to the nappy.

Machine washable on a gentle cold cycle. Each Swaddlebees Merino Wool Cover comes complete with a complimentary lanolizing kit to treat the covers prior to first use.
