SALE Hand-Dyed Regular Prefold - Mermaid Green

Description

This listing is for a regular prefold, measuring 14 x 18 inches. It has been hand-dyed, using commercial dyes, to a beautiful shade of light green with a slight blue undertone. Reminds me of seafoam and mermaids!

** This diaper has been discounted from $4.75 to $3.75, due to a small blemish. A bit of the powdered dye came in direct contact with the diaper, leaving teeny dark blue spotty dotties. The affected area is about 1 inch by 2 inches along the top edge, but only on one side.

All cloth diapers have been washed twice prior to dyeing to "prep" them (aka make them soft and fluffy). After dyeing, they were washed twice more to ensure colorfastness.

Will these diapers bleed? I've been using hand-dyed diapers on my own children for over two years, and have never experienced any color transfer from dyed diaper to other diapers, covers, baby's clothes, etc. That said, I would still exercise caution the first couple uses- particularly when the diaper is wet and resting against something else for an extended period of time (for example, in the diaper pail).

Diaper service quality (DSQ) prefolds are used as I think they are far superior to cheaper prefolds such as Gerber's. DSQ prefolds are soft, fluffy, and extremely absorbent, making them ideal to add to your cloth diaper stash.

Prefolds also make unbeatable burp cloths as they protect shoulders from spit up, as well as mop up dribbles and spills. In addition, they can be used as an on-the-go changing pad.

Need a different size prefold? Ask about preemie, newborn, infant and toddler options. I can dye diapers in an almost-endless variety of colors, too!

Our hand-dyed prefolds can be also be embellished with your choice of fabric for an additional $2 per diaper. (See other listings for examples).

*Note: since these are dyed by hand, there may be a minor mottled appearance (where some areas are slightly darker/lighter than others). I think this only adds to the uniqueness of such handmade products and is generally hardly noticeable, if at all. If there are any more obvious variations, I will be sure to note them here.

Like all of my items, if actual shipping costs exceed listed price by more than $1, then the difference will be promptly refunded.
