We have been adding some links to some interesting reads about superwash merino wool and the production of our fabrics.
All of our Heavyweight fabrics use what is called “feltable” wool or wool that has scales to knit together almost like velcro does to make it thick and great for diapering and warm clothing yet is still temperature regulating. We have been mostly using these fabrics for years, but recently introduced the Dreamweight and Jersey as lighter weight options in our line up. These 2 fabrics are superwash.
Superwash is a process that was introducted in the 1970s as a way to allow wool to be more practical for the mass population. Some people didn’t want thick sweaters nor had the patience to hand wash things. The processes uses chlorine to remove the scales that stick together, then the fabric undergoes a softening process. It is like putting the fiber into a pool and then hair conditioner afterwards. Both stages require water and chemicals, and can look scary. This process has gotten some bad press over the years. There are some new processes being introduced; spoken about in the articles below. Take a look and decide for yourself what is best for your family. We do offer a variety of options and intend to introduce more over the up coming months and years most of which will be “feltable” style because that is our main fabric line up.
I didn’t fully understand what superwash was when I first got some years ago to try out. I do tend to run hot, and had dabbled for short times over the years in using these fabrics. I have a dress I made myself that I love, it keeps me feeling cool on hot summer days, but still comfortable in air conditioned spaces as well. I had stopped offering these garments more because I was streamlining our offereings and wanted to really work on our heavyweight process and didn’t divide the available capital investments among too many fabrics.
I had a few people beg me to bring in Jersey and lighteweight fabrics. I brought in the Jersey and Dreamweight at that time. I was aware that a small handful of people were concerned about superwash, but also that many had no idea what it was any it confused them with too much information. I did look around and found that most wool makers didn’t opening announce it, but I was open to discuss if anyone asked me. I trust the makers of the fabrics and the regulations of Europe and USA that the process couldn’t be that bad anyways.
When I learned more about some people having concerns about superwash, I did some research and spoke with my knitter again to verify my understanding about this topic. They have been in the industry for years in the US. They get their yarn from Europe, and offer both Superwash and Feltable wool types. He said that they have spent hours and thousands of dollars testing our different methods. Their testing resulted in unusable wool fabric that was severly damaged. They usually do the knitting, and have navigated to allow the spinners to do what they do best and not reinvent the wheel. The Jersey maker uses charguers in the US which is the only facility to do so in America.
We have been undergoing a lot of growth with a lot of products and I do apologize for not being more clear when these were introduced. I have had a couple more people inquiring, so I decided better late than never, regreting not investing the time earlier. There is a lot of anecdotal information out there, but I did try to find some scientific articles discussing the process and some of their findings. I searched microplastics and superwash and didn’t find anything, but will continue to research. I do not want to offer a product that I don’t feel confortable with.
Our superwash is processed by Charguers, an international leader in textile fabrication with an division in USA. They have aided in further testing of processes as well. They are using updated technology to reduce the environmental impacts of the superwash process, and continue to work on sustainability as part of their mandate. A lot of this information has some proprietary information, the whole textile industry is a challenge to navigate. From water and pesticide use in cotton production as well as the dyeing process, bamboo fabric production, availability of knowledge and machinery to produce fabrics in locations with decent labour and environmental laws. I do feel confident in my current supply chain, the people working with me and our process. I love using wool because of the reduced environmental impacts of the production, low impact dyeing process, limited water consumption and a sustainability of the fiber itself.
I truly appreciate the challenge to forge forward and have a positive impact on the people around me but the planet itself. Taking a small kitchen table business to market is no easy job, and I am grateful for people that support what we do as well as my fellow makers and always look for ways improve our process make sure we are doing things the best way possible.

Hi, I prefer the comfy and cozy for covers as the durasoft is great for outdoors rough play. some do like it because it is really thick, but really they are all just fine. The hybrid has become quite popular. If you want to share the measurements, we can help pick the best size. Some kids are in medium at that age and other are in XL. What diaper being used also plays a huge role. I highly recommend joining our chat group for further support. Many find someone in there with a simialr shaped child which results in great advice as well. You can find me in there too and message me any time – Stephanie Gross https://var/var/var/var/var/www/webroot/ROOT–precise/webroot/ROOT–precise/webroot/ROOT–precise/webroot/ROOT–precise/webroot/ROOT–precise.facebook.com/groups/bumbyflockchat

Machine wash wool?
Doesn’t that sound like a dream? Well lets make it a reality. We have partnered with Unicorn Laundry Care products because they are the best product I have found for our wool. Find a retailer near you or in our shop.
Our wool is thick and soft and likes to hold fluid. Which means it will hold onto soap and detergent unless it is rinsed and washed well. So we highly recommend using not only very little soap, but also to rinse well.
Unicorn Beyond Soft in a natural Fabric Conditioner. It helps keeps the fibers soft and healthy.
Step 1 Dissolve 1 TBSP of Unicorn Beyond Clean in some water
Step 2 Add wool to your washing machine
Step 3 Add dissolved detergent to the dispenser
Step 4 Turn on washer to Cool setting (use wool setting or lower spin)
Do a secondary rinse cycle, aka rinse and spin with pre-dissolved Beyond Soft Conditioner.
We also recommend doing this every so often to refresh your wool between washes. It removed light soiling and neutralized salts
Wool has been used for centuries in all climates. It keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the heat, reducing night sweats and rashes.
Wool is a naturally breathable fiber reducing rashes and keeping baby dry.
Our in-house proprietary dyeing process not only gives us stunning colours but also pre-treats the wool making it machine washable.
We hand craft every item in our workshop. Each item is lovingly cut and sewn by our team. We appreciate your business and love doing what we do.
Wool sops up humidity and moisture and also repels it. Its called a miracle fiber by many. The lanolin helps the wool repel fluids back to the diaper, then as it becomes too much it absorbs a tremendous amount before feeling damp.
Our stuff is adorable. It really is. Come join our Flock and you can see all of the custom made items we have made over the years. Our brand is more than clothing, its about family.

Why Use Lanolin?
Lanolin is a naturally occurring wax found in wool fiber. It is cleaned out of the wool during processing the fibers for fabric and yarn. We only use the purest pharmaceutical grade lanolin. Lanolin conditions the wool fibers and gives the waterproof protection we love about wool. Lanolin also increases the wool’s anti-bacterial properties to help your diaper cover self-clean between uses and naturalize urine.
Use our Emulsion Blocks to create a lanolin rich bath to reintroduce this amazing natural goodness into your wool. Click the rest of the tabs for more information on how to use them.
You can also use our pre-emulsified Ready to Use Lanolin Blend to make it even easier! Made with all natural ingredients to take away the guesswork. Super rich, with at least 25% lanolin in the mixture.
Want something for on the go or between washing. Use our pre-mixed Lanolin Rich Spray. Helps boost the wool performance without the wait.

Basic Steps
Let’s Create Together

Ordered the medium briefs in Dark Denim and I absolutely love them! They are the exact fit I wanted on my 20 pound, 31 inch 10 month old. They fit like little shorts! These are super soft and stretchy, and thinner than other brands with out sacrificing functionality. I will definitely be purchasing more!
Naomi (verified owner) –
This is the perfect fit over our fitteds for nighttime!
Naomi (verified owner) –
This is our latest night time cover. My baby is a heavy wetter and requires a real bulky hybrid fitted for nights so we sized up for this one and it’s ideal!
Jean (verified owner) –
These covers are great for beginners! These where the first wool items we bought for my daughter when she was about 3 months old. Because of how stretchy they are, she is still fitting them at 9 months!
Haley P. (verified owner) –
Super cute! I love them. Be careful with the thighs on the brief style tho, they do run smaller through the thigh especially for my little guy. The brief style looks a lot like little shorts. Couldn’t be happier with them.
Stephanie Gross (store manager) –
I am so glad you love them. As a little note, you can stretch the cuffs a little when wet, after washing usually, and they will stay that shape and can be larger if you needed, or anyone else reading this
Moriah S. (verified owner) –
Kylee Todd (verified owner) –
Absolutely love them they are so cute and soft and absorbent
Verified Buyer (verified owner) –
Also a little big. Prefer the traditional style but again he will totally grow into them.
Berlanda Siltman (verified owner) –
This is my 1st real bumby cover and we live it.
Margaret S. (verified owner) –
Got ours pre-lanolized which I really appreciate as it gave me a better idea of how that should feel. Being new to lanolizing I haven’t been confident of what was too much vs just right and this helps me understand better
Carrie G. (verified owner) –
The brief style covers are great! They are my 2 year olds favorite. They are like wearing shorts, so oftentimes we forego pants when around the house. Perfect amount of stretch and the quality is unmatched.
Kathrine McDonough (verified owner) –
This cover is PERFECT ! The rise fully covers both fluffy fitted diapers, but also looks cute over trim flats or even a disposable. The cuffs and waistband are nice and stretchy. This cover is absolutely bulletproof! So soft, and so stretchy. I love the brief style
Allison S. (verified owner) –
Could not love our briefs more! Stephanie and team were great with designing the colors and our little girl is so comfortable in them. Baby M has been our fit for maybe a year now, still going strong at 20 months and 26lbs.
Teresa T. (verified owner) –
So cute and keeps things dry.
