Tina From September Wool Soaker - Review

Front with adjustable tie

There are a ton of different "commercial" brands of wool diaper covers out there!  But what do you do when you want to use wool but still support the WAHMs?  Well honestly, you search REALLY, REALLY hard to find a WAHM that does wool....unless you know where to look or have heard of them before :)  So that is what I am here for!!!  To let you know about an awesome WAHM that makes awesome HAND knit wool soakers/diaper covers for your little ones!!

Now I know that everyone LOVES a WAHM and wool (if you have used it)!  So by now you are probably ready to place your order and want to know who I am talking about.  Well, I have had the privilege to work with Tina from September!!!  She makes beautiful hand knit wool soakers :)  And I have the privilege to let you all know about them!!!

My Thoughts

Back of Soaker

Tina does a wonderful job HAND knitting her wool soakers!!  They are all one of a kind because
they are not machine made like the big brand wool!  The one I received is a beautiful dark plum color!  It is closely compared in size to a "big brand" ML, but this one has an adjustable waist so you can get a nice fit around little ones tummy! 

The soaker is single layered where the big brands are usually double layered.  But that honestly doesn't make a difference as long as you lano!!!  Plus the whole thing about wool is that it is not made to hold moisture!!!  You should have enough absorbency in your diaper so that the whole is acting as a barrier between the diaper and everything else!

Baby K not really cooperating :)

Overall, I have had a very pleasant experience with my 1st WAHM wool item!!  Wool can be very intimidating in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it you will wonder why you ever waited so long :)  Baby K loves to wear her "pretty" at night and ask for them regularly!   

Also make sure to check out all the happenings on Tina's website, Facebook page, and Pinterest!!!

Wool.....What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing!  Say it again!  WRONG!!!  But for some reason the War song popped into my head and I had to finish my version of the song :)  Wool is absolutely wonderful!!  But it can also be extremely intimidating and scary if you have never used it before.  It was well over a year into my cloth diapering adventures before I even thought about attempting wool.  And all I have to say is I am sad and sorry that I did not try it sooner!!!


It is not nearly as horrible as I thought it would be to deal with.  But when someone tells you that you have to hand wash it, don't put it in the dryer, and use lanolin on it, that would make most people run for the hills :)  And that is exactly what I did for over a year.  You really don't "wash" it you more let it soak :)  and then roll it up to get the excess water out.  But you can read more one washing here (coming soon)!

So I guess the real question is why wool?  What is so awesome about it?  And why do I not wash it between every use?  Yuck!!!
