WhO? Is the wOOly Owl

Because your baby and the earth deserve better ♥ 


 The WOOly Owl reclaimes naturak wool fibres and sews exslusively with lovely certified organic cotton knits, providing upcycled altenatives for conscience families.


In my own personal effort to start an organic and live-from-the-land revolution, and to offer to others greener and more reusable and biodegradable choices for diapering their children, The wOOly Owl was born. Keeping it as local as possible, the wOOly Owl reclaimes and upcycles 100% wool materials and uses only organic cotton knits, (minus metal zippers and vintage buttons which takle some time to breakdown). 


In my little sewing closet (yes it is a bedroom closet) I create my wOOly creations with so much love and care that I truly believe shows in each item. I am a one-woman-show aspiring to do my part in my community and inspire others to do the same!

WOOl Mattress Pad

wOOly Nesting Pads are ideal for attachment parents who need to protect their mattress until their little owlette sleeps by themselves. Perfectly measured as well to protect your natural crib mattress from unfortunate accidents!






Each are handmade with 100% upcycled wool which breathes, allows for air flow, and can absorb up to 30% of its weight without feeling wet. Your nesting pad is ideal for co-sleeping, as a mattress liner, (placed under the sheets) and even as a safe and comfortable playspot!

Pads will maintain a comfortable temperature in warm and cool weather as wool is a temperature regulating fibre. Wool is water-resistant and therefore acts as a great barrier for light leaking from diapers, drool, spit-up, or breast milk, and is a great sustainable alternative to synthetic fibres.

Want a bigger or smaller wOOly Nesting Pad? Let me know and I will make one just for you and your little owlette♥

10 Benefits To Using Cloth Diapers

WOOly Soaker

Ten reasons you should make the switch to reusable....

1) Your family will save almost $2500+ per child vs using disposables. The average family spends $2,694.54 for 7,349 disposable, single-use diapers. *1

2) Your family will NOT produce 1 ton of waste that would go into landfills. It is estimated that 10,000 tons of disposable diapers are added to landfills EVERY day. *2

3) Your baby will have less diaper rash.

4) Your baby won't be exposed to sodium polyacralate (the shiny crystals in the diaper that can stick to babies skin causing skin reactions) *3

5) Your family doesn't have to put 1-2 bags of disposable diaper trash out on the curb for trash day.

6) Using cloth diapers vs using disposable diapers will reduce your babies chances of getting asthma. The Archives of Environmental Health tested 6 leading cloth diapers and 6 leading disposable diapers and discovered that the emissions from one disposable diaper were high enough to produce asthma-like symptoms in mice.*4

7) Your family is reducing their carbon footprint by using cloth diapers. The manufacturing of disposables takes over 1 million metric tons of wood pulp and 75,000+ of metric tons of plastic each year. *5

8) Using cloth diapers will help facilitate quicker potty training. During potty training time children who have been in cloth will recognize sooner when they are wet vs a baby in disposable diapers.

9) Cloth Diapers are just as easy to use as disposables. With the modern age of cloth diapers and brand such as bumGenius and Fuzzi Bunz there are now options that are much, much easier than 30 years ago!

10) No more trips to the store late at night when you are out of disposables. Just pop a load into the machine and you have instant diapers. Just think of the gas savings! NO more trips to the store!
