I have to give credit where credit is due. These ultra easy directions came from another Crunchy Mama's blog. So, the credit goes to Laura!! I'm just passing them along to you guys in my own words....
If you go to wash your woolie and it sits on top of the water with little pools of water gathering on top -- no need to lanolize. If the woolie has some pools of water and some areas that absorb the water OR it sinks and saturates completely -- time to lanolize!
Supply list: Wool wash is available but, I simply use chemical free baby wash (Burt's Bees Baby). Liquid lanolin is also available but, again...I'm into cheap and easy. So, I use the solid lanolin purchased from Wal-Mart (Lansinoh..the breastfeeding cream). And you'll need a small container for mixing your lanolin. I use a small plastic travel sized shampoo container. If it squirts ... that is better but, you could use a tupperware if you don't have anything.
#1 Gather your wash, lanolin, squirty container and woolie.
#2 Fill the sink with tepid water.
#3 Add a few drops of your wash.
#4 Add your woolie.
#5 Swish your woolie a bit. Make some bubbles.
#6 Let woolie sit for 5 minutes.
#7 Swish woolie around again....gently massaging (using both hands).
#8 Drain water.
#9 Turn woolie inside out.
#10 Rinse woolie thoroughly in tepid water.
#11 Squeeze out excess water. Set aside.
#12 Grap your squeezy container. Fill it half way (remember I use a travel sized one) w/ ultra hot tap water. Put a pea-sized drop of lanolin into your hot water. Also, add a drop of your wash in w/ the lanolin. Then, put the lid on your container. Now, shake like mad until you have a creamy colored liquid. Make sure no blobs of lanolin are left.
#13 Fill your sink w/ tepid water again. Put woolie into the water (still turned inside out). Now, sqeeze your lanolin mixture over your woolie trying not to get it all in one spot. I always turn my woolie over and fill my squeezy container back up w/ water (from the sink), swish it around and squeeze until I feel like I've gotten all my lanolin/wash out onto my woolie.
#14 Swish your woolie again and turn it over.
#15 Let woolie sit for 10 minutes.
#16 Drain your sink.
#17 Squeeze water from your woolie. And squeeze some more...they eat up sooooo much liquid!
#18 Lay woolie on a nice, thick towel. Roll woolie up into the towel. More liquid....amazing how much they absorb, huh??
#19 Unroll woolie. And put woolie onto a drying rack (or well ventilated area) for 48 hours.
Taaa....Daaaaa!!! All done! I've been intimidated by wool for 5 babies now. Thanks to Jessica for sending me Laura's directions on caring for wool. Now...number 6 is lucky enough to get woolies!! I love them paired with cotton prefolds and/or velour liners. I will have my HyenaCart up and going soon w/ some lovely prefolds and cute woolies!
Hugs,
Kristi
