Thank you for posting this! I am so nervous about using wool when our baby is born, since I feel so lost when it comes to washing and lanolizing! I'm DEF bookmarking this post!
I love videos like this! My preferred method of learning is seeing and then doing. I like the idea of dissolving the lanolin in a jar before adding it to the sink. It also never dawned on me to turn the cover inside out when lanolizing...makes sense! Thanks :)
I have a wool wash bar with lanolin in it (Sheepish Grins). Does this just mean that I would skip the step of the lanolizing soak or should I wash it TWICE with the wool wash bar first just washing and rinsing and then again letting it soak?
Great video! I wasn't confident about how to wash a few wool covers that I got used so I hadn't used them yet. Now I will! Quick question, how often do they need to be washed and lanolized?
Thank you for posting this video! I've really been wanting to try wool because I love the idea of using only natural fibers but I've been a little intimidated and unsure if I'd be able to wash and lanolize the wool. This video was so clear and helpful! Now that I've seen the whole process, I think I may be ready to try wool!
Lindsay: Usually wool needs to be washed every few weeks (sometimes 3-4 weeks - sometimes sooner- it will depend on how heavily soiled they gets or how heavily your little one wets their diaper)
Julie: If your wool wash has a sufficient amount of lanolin then you can skip the lanolizing step - just do the drill one time through - allowing the cover to soak for 10-15 minutes at the very least.
Correction: Julie - I'm not very familiar with the wool wash bars - I would recommend checking with the manufacturer of your wool wash bar and see what they advise in terms of washing and lanolizing!

Thank you so much for posting this! I have a wool soaker that I need to wash and lanolize; I'm so nervous! A video helps a lot.

Serena- will you come wash/lanolize my wool for me? I've been procrastinating way too long!

Thanks for posting this! Maybe I'll dare to try wool covers now.
Is there a step where you rinse out the soap? I don't remember seeing on in your video.
