Can someone explain wool covers to me in really small words...!

[L J]

Hello Ladies

I use PUL covers at the moment but keep reading about how fabulous wool is, then I get confused. I understand you "waterproof" it with lanolin. I have Lansinoh in the cupboard, can I use that?
But then I read about some moisture is evaporated away - sorry, please explain this part to me!
I realise its water and not actual wee (I do get the part about wool neutralising the wee), but if I put DD to bed in a nappy plus wool cover, then she's in a romper and in a Grobag, then where is this moisture going? Won't I get her up in the morning in damp clothes/Grobag? So she has a dry bum but damp everything else? How can that work?

Sorry if I seem [i]really[i] dim!!

Lou

When using machine knit fabrics they tend to be lighter than hand knit wool

... the reference to machine knit here is to fabrics made in a factory environment. It is very thin yarn that is knitted using an interlocking or jacqard technique to create the fabric.

There are "domestic" knitting machines that can use the same hand-knitting wool yarns to make soakers etc and work exactly the same as those knitted by hand either on circular or straight needles.
