This non-bulky, comfortable Wool Diaper Cover features a gusset in the seat (roomy enough for cloth diapered babies) and knee length ribbed leg openings keep diapers from peeking out. Makes for a comfortable fit with an easy pull-on elastic waist. Kusikuy Alpaca Wool is unlike any lamb's wool you've felt - it is exceptionally soft and non-itchy, made of a super fine fiber that makes it feel incredibly downy.  Lightweight and fast drying, the durable alpaca blend fiber stands up to extreme washing and retains its shape. Excellent as cute toddler shorts, too.

The Fiber

Alpaca is a rare specialty fiber. It is stronger than mohair, finer than cashmere, smoother than silk, warmer than goose down and breathes better than thermal knits. Alpaca is naturally hypoallergenic, snuggly soft and cozy warm. This is a fine micron fleece only found at the nape of the alpaca's neck and makes up just 20% of all the fiber produced by this fine animal. This gorgeous alpaca wool diaper cover is created with the world's softest alpaca fiber and hand made with love just for your baby by Bolivia's finest knitters in fair trade work environments. Kusikuy is a proud member of the Organic Trade Association. This diaper cover is a natural color and has not been dyed.

The Knitters

Kusikuy knitters are Aymara and Quechua pre-Inca descendants. They belong to independent cooperatives and communities. Some knitters manage small organic arms caring for llamas and sheep, cultivating wheat, potatoes and quinoa (a high protein Andean super grain). Those living near the shores of Lake Titicaca tend alpaca herds. Knitters are paid a fair wage for their work and participate in skills workshops and personal growth opportunities.

The Animals

Small alpaca herds are free to roam about the vast slopes of the Andes Mountains. Animals graze on indigenous organic grasses just as their ancestors have for 5,000 years. Alpacas are smaller and more delicate than llamas. Alpaca wool is carefully hand short so the animals are not harmed and the fiber is best for spinning. This wool is hand processed and spun into the fine yarns found in all Kusikuy knits.
