Good place to buy wool diaper covers?

[OhioGuy]

My wife told me to bid on Ebay for wool diaper covers for our baby
that will be arriving in about a month.

I checked on Ebay, and only seem to find them sold as singles, and
they seem to be running $15 or more.

Can anyone suggest a place where you can buy several, and they are
not treated as "specialty items" - with the associated high price?

I thought we would be able to find them in a multi pack for about $8
or $9 each, but so far I haven't found any luck.

Hope they are better than they were 30 years ago. Cloth was so much
easier / faster to change & didn't fail nearly as often.

We'd use them when away from home, but most always used cloth at home.

My grandma used to knit woollen soakers. They were a very WW II thing.
All 5 of us had soakers pulled on over our cloth diapers. They are
dead easy to knit.

I used plastic pants pulled on over diaper-service cloth diapers.

I hear that there is now a diaper-free movement (no pun intended.) How
green can you get, eh?

Perhaps you should think twice about buying wool anything for a baby- with
baby's skin so "new" and sensitive, wool could be irritating if not cause
a down-right allergy.

There are still patterns out there for them, too.

I just double-diapered my children (making a half-twist to go between
the legs to reduce horizontal bulk) who had extra-sensitive skin and I
didn't need soakers, but I bought top-quality cloth diapers.

No pins. They can weigh POUNDS by the time you need to change them. No diaper
rash. I guess they could be improved if somebody figured out how to make them
absorb babyshit, leaving a clean bottom, but that's probably too much to ask.
