Hello, not sure I'm in the right section but have a question about preparing fabrics.

I have bamboo fleece, bamboo velour, hemp jersey knit, and bamboo jersey knit.

Will they reach optimum aborbancy without a drier? I've got a great washing machine...lol

Sorry if this comes off stupid, just want to make sure I get this right.

Are you makig nappies or is this what your nappies are made of?

Either way, the fabrics don't need to be dried in between washes - it's the washing powder and rinsing that makes the difference. It removes any detergents or other residues on the fabric and softens it.

If you are making nappies, you need to dry it well because of shrinkage. HTH

Thank you for the reply. The fabrics are for a combination of boosters, prefolds, and some mama cloth.

Once I get them washed and dried, does it matter about the drier after that?
