I washed my hemp & cotton prefolds yesterday... and OMG the lint!! LOL. I'm glad I didn't have the microfleece in there! Altho, I did a load of washers and stuff afterwards and they got covered in the fluff (coz good ol' me didn't check the machine for all the lint )

Forget the absorbency... they need all these prewashes just to get rid of the fluff!
