WHY WOOL?

There are many, many versions of the "why wool" story out there. I am still young in my relationship to wool as a diaper covering material, thus still figuring out my own version of "why wool". So far, I have learned (from reading) and discovered (by observing my child who pees and poops a lot, as children do) that wool as a diaper covering material works because:

Wool breathes

Wool is a natural fiber

Wool repels water & holds moisture at the same time

Wool doesn't get stinky and is in fact antimicrobial to some extent

Wool can be dyed in lovely colors, knitted, crocheted, woven or felted in 1000's of different ways and styled in countless designs

Wool doesn't need washing as frequently as other materials do

Wool is warm in winter and cool in summer

Of course, if you start to use wool, you will quickly discover your own reasons. You can also do a quick search of the web and find a great deal more info about wool in diapering. Here are a couple of resources I really appreciated:
