ahhh its the bamboo batting...not fleece etc. I just bought some to make a summer weight doona......not sure how it would hold up in nappies to be perfectly honest. batting is just scraps or more corectly pulp of a fibre pressed together like how they make paper....I would have my doubts as tohow it would wear with constant weeing and washing as opposed to a woven or knitted fibre.
Just my thoughts....it did however make an awesome summer wieight quilt...I just popped two layers into an old doona cover and then did some fancystitching on top to hold it down...voila!!!
If anyone wants to suss it out further it is in the quilting section with all the quilt battings.
I have got a few questions about bamboo and prefolds.
I have seen different % of bamboo in the material from 75% to 90% bamboo.
*Do you go for the highest % bamboo?
*What is the difference between bamboo fleece and bamboo velour?
I bought a metre awhile ago from e-bay, but looking to buy about 2-4m this time. I have checked out a few websites. If you have any favourites, please post or PM me. (can't remember if we allowed to put names here)
I have used bamboo for boosters, but looking at making some pre-folds.
My plan is to use flannelette (nappy flanelette to start with, then maybe some coloured), and use bamboo for the pad bit in the middle.
*Will this work? I am making for my brother & SIL.
