So, I found an amazing deal on MF cleaning cloths... they have a ribbed texture and looked like they'd be even more absorbent than the ones I use to dust the house that are just a flat-ish, short piled cloth. they are thin, but not as thin as their non-ribbed cousins. (think of a wide ribbed tank or something)
My question... if you purchased them new, and washed the heck out of 'em, would you use these as soakers in a diaper?
I hope to sew some of my own dipes and soakers, esp since i've been collecting scrap fabric of all sorts, but these just seemed like they'd be a great way to get MF, and the size is about right.
If you would use them, would you use 2 layers by themselves, (i'd trim to be a "standard" ish size) or cut it in half, and use one layer sandwiched between layers of cotton flannel or some other material? I was thinking that the MF might not be great against baby's skin... am I wrong?
Any thoughts about this, or should I just wash them and start using them around the house?
TIA , still only daydreaming about dipes, and haven't been able to use any in practice yet....
ETA: yes, I overanalyze everything...
