It's a Sugarplum fitted, black background with moon and stars. The fabric is described simply as a "knit", with hemp fleece inside. The interior hemp fleece appears to be white.

I have a Calico Baby fitted with black fleece interior and I hate it. The bulk of my stash is CPFs and the black fleece attracts ALL the lint off them in the wash. I know it's on the inside, but it drives me bonkers.

If it is knit then I dont think it should collect too much lint. Flannel on the other hand would but knit is think is pretty safe. If it does collect a little just take a peice of tape too it or one of those lint roller thingys....otherwise I wouldnt worry about it. IT would need a cover anyhow. Besides that I would think since its being washed with other diapers who have already been washed several times I dont think lint would be too much of an issue right? Ok Im rambeling...IMO it shouldnt be too bad :)

it probably won't collect lint per say... but since its a knit it will probably pill and that would show up more on a darker print :)

What she said. :) I have black fleece and it's super linty. I have black knit and it doesn't get very linty, but it is somewhat pilly (as are many of my knits). It's not bad, but it does show up more on the dark knits than on the light knits. My wovens in general don't seem to pill, so even my dark wovens look pretty good.
