Colored Prefolds Chinese Infant Size

Colored Prefolds Chinese Infant Size - What We Love:

Soft, 100% cotton colored prefolds are a favorite for burp cloths or for spicing up your cloth diaper stash. These diaper-service quality Chinese prefolds are hand-dyed in a rainbow of pastels and bright colors. Chinese prefolds do not take dye quite as vibrantly as Indian prefolds, so if you are looking for brighter or deeper colors, try our hand-dyed Indian prefolds. Use these absorbent 4x6x4 colored cloth diapers as is, or embellish them with trims, cute fabrics, or embroidery.

Colored Prefolds Chinese Infant Size - Description:

Made from 100 percent cotton and hand-dyed with low-impact dyes, these colored prefolds are a favorite for catching spit-up or absorbing drool. Use them as imromptu bibs or drape them over your shoulder for those inevitable burps and dribbles. These colored Chinese prefolds are a favorite baby shower gift as well. New moms will love how absorbent and cute they are. They make a very practical and adorable baby gift.

I dye these myself (under my other company name, Meadowlark Mountain). I start with diaper-service quality Chinese prefold cloth diapers and use top-quality fiber-reactive dyes. Some color variation is normal in hand-dyed products. Also, colors will vary from batch to batch.

These are considered premium prefolds, made from several layers of cotton diaper twill. They are layered 4x6x4, with the thickest part in the middle. These are a standard infant size (12x16 inches before dying, approximately 11x14 inches after dying). If used as diapers, they will fit about 7-15 pounds.

Colored Prefolds Chinese Infant Size - Use and Care:

As with any colored fabric, it is safest to wash colored prefolds with like colors for the first few washes. After that they can safely be washed with your white diapers and they will not bleed color. They are dyed with low-impact dyes that become a part of the fabric. Once the dye is washed away, they are safe for use and do not contain any heavy metals or other chemicals.

Chinese prefolds pill more during the dying process than Indian prefolds. The pills (or fuzzies) will come off after a few more washes.

Wash in warm or hot water and tumble dry. Be careful with detergents that claim to remove residues as they can strip color from hand-dyed textiles such as colored prefolds.
