I will show you how to lanolize your wool is this post. It is super easy and kind of fun 🙂

First, you will need:

• wool cover that needs to be lanolized
• lanolin
• baby wash or wool wash
• a baby jar or small container that closes
• something to wash the wool in that can contain water, you can use a sink with a stopper or a large bowl
• a towel

Step 1: Fill your sink with a little bit of soap and LUKE warm water. You have to be careful not to shock your wool with extreme temperature changes. Add the wool and carefully swish it around.

Step2: Let your diaper soak for 10-30 minutes. The large time discrepancy is determined by how badly your wool needs to be washed. If it is poopy, you will want to let it soak for longer.

Step 3: Rinse your wool with LUKE warm water.

Step 4: Carefully squeeze out your water. Do NOT wring.

Step 5: Place a pea size amount of lanolin in a jar with SUPER HOT water. And shake the heck out of it. This will melt the lanolin and aid in coating the wool properly. Keep on shaking until it is all the way melted.

Step 6: Fill the sink with LUKE warm water. Pour the lanolin water into the sink.

Step 7: Add your wool and swish it around.

Step 8: Let your wool sit in the lanolin water for 10-30 minutes. (You can see the lanolin separating from the water already in the picture.)

Step 9: Remove your wool and gently press out water. Then place inside a towel and roll it.

Step 10: Allow to dry for about 24 hours.

Viola! You’re done. If you are only washing your wool, you can just do steps 1-4 and 10. 🙂
