Okay, so I need to make a choice between hemp french terry and hemp fleece for my calico baby. Which one would you choose and why? Or is there absolutely no difference?

Thanks!

Hemp french terry is twice as absorbent as hemp fleece. I don't think there is much (if any) difference in terms of thickness. I'd go with the terry.

Thanks, Amy! That's exactly what I needed to know! Yes, I'm going with the terry with Kaya's soakage. :)

Thanks, Amy! That's exactly what I needed to know! Yes, I'm going with the terry with Kaya's soakage volume. :)

Hemp french terry and hemp flee3ce are the exact same fabrics :) They get the fleece by taking the terry and brushing out the loops. I havent found terry to be more absorbant but it is trimmer.

Okay, well both possibilities (terry being more trim and being more absorbent) are fine with me. :)

Thanks, Ladies!

ETA: Amy, I'm so glad you're back around here. Feel free to feed your wool/CD addiction for as long as possible! :P
