Made of the lovey Cloth-eez Double-Weave Muslin fabric! Double-weave cotton gauze (muslin) X-Large diaper can be used as a toddler diaper, receiving blanket, or swaddling blanket. Made of natural organic cotton. Direct from the manufacturer savings on the lovely, substantial double-woven muslin. There is no comparison to the commonly available swaddles in big stores. This is more substantial and nicer. You will be impressed with the quality and beautiful fabric at such a low price. It's super-nice! Available only at Green Mountain Diapers. Sold individually. SIZE: About 39 x 38 inches before washing; about 36 x 36 inches after shrinkage Unbleached natural double weave cotton muslin. After washing is about 36x36 inches. This is one size larger than our size Large Birdseye flat and Large Muslin diapers (which are smaller than this item). The fabric is sometimes called gauze. Ours are double weave which means that it is basically two layers of cloth woven together on the same loom at the same time to form one thicker layer. That's an oversimplification of the weaving process but you end up with one layer of thicker fabric than single weaving but it is still a one-layer fabric. Thicker means more absorbent yet since it is really still one layer, it has a nice, soft hand and washes and dries easily and quickly. After shrinkage it is about one square yard of fabric. It is finished on two ends only and the other two ends are self-finished edges called selvadge or selvedge edges, just like our birdseye flat diapers. No dyes! Simple, pure 100% cotton, exclusive of trim. - Use as a nursing cover up. - Lay it down over a public changing station to cover the entire thing before you put your other stuff down on it - then toss it in the wash later. - Use as a sun shade - An natural cotton lovey blankie - A nighttime toddler diaper - Under the cat where the cat likes to sleep to keep the cat hair off the bed or couch. - So many uses for this for many years! This fabric is same kind of fabric as our Cloth-eez Muslin Diapers but this is much bigger. Later on, use it as a night diaper for an older one. Beautiful fabric washes easily. Thicker and more substantial than the big store brands. In Europe these are called baby towels. We tend to think of towels as terry cloth so I don't want to call them that but they can be used after the bath to wrap baby. Receiving blankets come in many sizes. A common size for receiving blankets is 28x28 inches. These are larger at 36x36 inches. Swaddling blankets are usually about 47x47, so these are smaller than that (these are 36x36 after shrinkage, 39x39 before shrinkage). Our large birdseye diapers are about 31x31 and our small birdseye is about 28x28 inches. I swaddled my first baby with the 28x28 flannel receiving blankets and they worked fine but I do think a little larger size would have been better for swaddling. It can be used as a swaddle blanket but our intention is for diapering older babies, toddlers and preschoolers. We recommend fastening it with diaper pins. This nice fabric can have many other uses. Since it is plain without any prints or dyes, you know it will match everything now and far into the future when little baby prints aren't really ideal anymore for whatever purpose you find for it. Maybe we should call it a utility-fabric-square-yard-multi-use cloth item. Sold individually because you don't always need a pack of 4 of them. Also consider this as fabric for small home-sewing projects to make various diapers, doublers, wipes or other items. As a diaper, it is a little bit more absorbent than a size XLarge toddler green edge prefold diaper! Folded in half and then trifolded it is the same length as a size large brown edge prefold but it is thicker. It will fit in size large or XLarge diaper covers either trifolded or fastened. There are many ways to fold it so it will fit any age toddler or child. This is a good option for toddlers or preschoolers for overnight diapering especially since it will wash cleanly very easily.
