Dying Terry squares
Well Olivia was a weeny 6lb odd born and the cloth nappies I have will certainly not fit until at least 8lb or more and I expect Charlotte to be ickle too (both me and OH are average height anyway)
So I have decided to start with Terry squares with nappy nippas and my rikki wraps, but want ones with a abit of colour!
I have found these Bright bots
I have found them cheapest at around £12 for 6, which I do think is slightly too much for terry squares so thought about getting some plain ones and then dying them myself?
Do you think I can do that?

Re: Dying Terry squares
I would have thought they would dye quite easy to be honest,Claire should know hopefully which dyes are best/safest as she would use some maybe on her jellynosechic clothing.
Great idea by the way

Re: Dying Terry squares
I thought they would dye well, just wern't sure if it would effect the absobancy after ?
Re: Dying Terry squares
theres alady who sells them on ebay & she says SHE has dyed them herself,so i guess it wouldnt effect it.

Re: Dying Terry squares
save you ruining any expnsive nappies, you could experiment on cheap flannels to start,places like tesco do value ones or wilkinsons/primark do them for about 25p each.that way you can test colours & absorbancy.the colourful flannels wouldnt go to waste as you could use for the girls faces etc nstead of wipes.
