Hemp is actually mold resistant (they used to use it for ship sails because of this) and has antimicrobial properties. Prefolds, flats, and Pockets are best for line drying and cotton or hemp will work for that. Straight cotton isn't as absorbent so it will dry faster.<br /><br />lelaynia,<br />They carried a few for a period of time.

Seeing them in person can really help. If you don't have a local cloth diaper store or a friend with diapers you can check to see if you have a Diaper Parties rep close to you. They bring diapers to your home so you can feel them before you purchase them. I know there are a few companies that do this. One is http://www.diaperparties.com . I know I had a hard time at first because there was no store in my area and I knew no one who used cloth. It would have saved me lots of time (and money) if I would have been able to see them first.Tara Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993727079615515376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-73455475717278154912011-09-28T11:54:12.161-04:002011-09-28T11:54:12.161-04:00Love this!

I also worry about mold with natural fabrics. <br /><br />Which natural fabrics would you recommend for exclusive line dryers?Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262575128837916121noreply@blogger.com
