Merino wool Crop length bottoms with a straight leg which pleats into a little cuff. Like a mini version of our harem pants.
Great for sweaters & bottoms for all ages. A cloth diaper cover functional weight
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.
We back the inside of the waistband with Heavyweight wool to replace the need for uncomfortable elastic inside this super soft and stretchy wool.
You may request any colour you wish for the inside as it is visible otherwise we will pick a best match for pair with your dreamweight choice.
Dreamweight for bottoms is nice for situations where you want a lighter weight fabric. Such as lounge wear. This fabric is not a suitable diapering weight. It is also more delicate that our heavyweight. You can pair this with a diaper cover or a full coverage doubler underneath to retain all of the benefits of wool.

Note that all of our bottoms are based on the same “bum” which means that all the shorts, crops and pants in the size have the same top portion. So once you find the right Hip, Rise and Waist that will work, you can just choose your style. Scroll down to find help to measure.
A really easy way to measure is to use existing pants that fit well. They don’t move around nearly as much as a squirmy baby!
The rise of a diaper is the same when off or on a baby
Night-time diapers are usually bigger, so it is a good idea to take that into account
Check our chat group on Facebook. You will probably find someone with similar measurements or sizing to chat with and get ideas.
The wool is stretchy and forgiving. We have siblings sharing the same clothes at the same time that are months/years apart in age.
Designed for Cloth Diaper usage. All of our Merino Wool Bottoms are a fully functional Cloth Diaper Cover. Our Baby Sizing has a generous cut in the rise to accomodate bulky diapers in the front and back.
Designed for people out of Diapers. They still function as a cloth diaper cover, altered to have a lower rise in the front than our baby fit. They are cut more like standard classic bottoms since there is generally less bulk in the front. However, many of our clients, especially those with more trim diapers prefer this design.
Check the sizing charts for more detailed information to assist your choice.
The same hips are on both; youth has a shorter rise and generally longer inseams.
Slender is generally 2″ narrower than Standard. Wide is generally 2″ wider than standard. Or next size up or down in the hips
Each size generally gets wider and taller by 2″
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 had 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 humidy and moisture and it also repells 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.

Let’s Create Together

I ordered large long crops for my 2year old right now they fit like pants but as she grows they should fit like cropped pants( Capri pants). I love that we will get years out of these. My daughter loves that they are colourful, stretchy and easy to get on and off
Anonymous (verified owner) –
The red, white and blue are digs and the red/black and green/brown are harems.
Hannah W. (store manager) –
Love that these fit as pants now and will turn into crops as she grows!
Jean (verified owner) –
Digs have been a staple in our house. My daughter has been in her baby m digs since 4 months old and now at 9 months she still fits in her baby regular and baby long digs as pants! Then they will turn into crops
Tanisha (verified owner) –
This was our first pair of digs but I absolutely love them! They fit very well and are a great grow with my option. I could have sized up or stuck with the standard fit and they would have fit like pants and then crops down the road but I minused inseam to they would fit like crops for this summer. I love them and think the pleats are such a flattering and adorable option. My son is wearing them over a preflat cloth diaper.
Tanisha (verified owner) –
My favorite crop style! The pleat is such a fun and flattering fit and I love that it offers a grow with me style, with added inseam they can fit as pants and grow into crops over time. I love the way they fit my little one.
Stephanie Gross (store manager) –
Love your pics as always. Thanks for leaving a review 🙂
Courtney (verified owner) –
After consulting with the flock on Facebook, I decided on size youth small digs to fit my 5 month old through the winter and for my 2 year old to wear in the spring. They fit both girls perfectly and are their first official shared piece of clothing!
Tanisha (verified owner) –
I love this style. A great one to size up up and act as a grow with me style. Can transition from pants to crops with ease and I love the little pleat you get with digs. It’s a special little touch that I think offers a flattering fit to show off my littles ones shoes and is very stylish. These are a youth medium standard fit on my little one.

Berlanda (verified owner) –
I love these so much. I got youth small long and they fit perfectly. My first time getting these so I was unsure how they would fit. I will be getting more in the future.
Stephanie Gross (store manager) –
adorable on her

Darcy (verified owner) –
Digs are in my top 2 fav of styles offered by Bumby. They’re just cute, sophisticated little pants. I have a couple pair. These are baby medium long inseam in striped twilight with full hidden pockets as an add-on (the pockets are scub a perfect addition) and they are fantastic. Another staple in my sons wardrobe! My husband even loves them!
Darcy (verified owner) –
Love these digs! And comfy courgette. We had to add hidden pockets to these. One of our favorite pairs of pants here!
Youth Wide Small Standard Inseam and my son has been in these since 10-11m and we will have them for quite some time! They may have to stay with us after he outgrows them and get placed in the hall of fame (baby clothes storage) haha
Morgan S. (verified owner) –
Gorgeous- and my daughter will be able to wear them for a long time. I had questions during the process, and Stephanie was super kind and helpful.
Amber Emerick (verified owner) –
Digs are the favorite style here! They are perfect ALL YEAR due to the cut! If it’s really cold, we add long socks ? The pleats on the bottom really add a nice touch. So easy to dress these up or casual!

These work great as pants on shorties and double as shorts once they get a little taller. Great for longevity if your on yhe fence about what to get.
