ProECO® Merino Wool Interlock Fabric 285 GSM (W-220)

Super soft

This wool interlock is amazingly soft and makes very soft and absorbent wool diaper soakers. I used two layers through the body because I prefer it to just an extra layer through the wet zone. I’m going to dye the next batch.

Lovely fabric!

I purchased a swatch so that I could test wash it and see what happens. I cut it to a six inch square and didn’t finish the edges. I threw it in with a white load, regular wash in warm water and tumble dried it on a low heat setting. The first time I washed it, the square came out 6.25 inches across (widest stretch) and 5.25 inches long. It felted up a tiny bit. The second time I washed it, there was no change. It has an easy 50% stretch across the width and 25% stretch lengthwise after washing. It would make a lovely pull on shirt or lightweight but warm sweater, hats, socks, mitten liner, dress, leggings, etc. It would also be very nice for a baby sleep sack or other clothing as it has a very soft hand, and no itching because it’s merino! I imagine it would dye nicely too, even though I will probably leave the natural color because it is a lovely cream. I’m putting this on my wish list. The picture is the swatch after washing twice.
