The ultimate in wrap luxury... wool is soft, absorbent and has its own built in water resistance (which is why sheep don't mind standing out in the rain!) Wool wraps are expensive but it's a price a lot of people consider worth paying. As night wraps, you can't beat a wool wrap for comfort and protection from wet clothes and bedding. They need a bit of extra care to retain their waterproof qualities but as compensation a good airing will suffice instead of washing most of the time (unless soiled by 'solids' of course!)
This may look a little strange at first glance - it's very hard to do it justice in a photo - but it really is a very effective, good value wool wrap.
With no poppers or aplix to complicate things, these pull-on pants are simple to use and fit over pretty much any shaped nappy or folded terry square.
Wool wraps require a little more care and attention than PUL or fleece wraps but it's a simple process once you know how! Treating with lanolin - or wool cure - around once a month will keep your wrap water resistant and in between a good airing will neutralise smells so you only need to wash if soiled or when the wrap fails to smell fresh after a day on the line or clothes airer.
This wrap will shrink a little with washing as the wool tightens up, we also recommend treating with lanolin before using...

We have recently adjusted our age range recommendations (again!) as Disana have started printing theirs on the label and it was causing confusion. We still recommend that you 'size up' as these have a tendency to felt and shrink over a relatively short time...
This is a felted wool wrap, that is it's more like a woollen coat than a jumper in texture!
It fastens with a broad strip of velcro that allows lots of adjustment and is a very roomy fit so works well over any shaped nappy or folded/pinned terry.
The waist and legs have soft knitted wool cuffs so this is a very comfortable wrap for night use.
As with any wool wrap it requires occasional treatment with lanolin or wool cure but in between will only need airing between uses and an occasional hand wash if soiled or smelly!
