Hi, I just purchased the zorbII dimbled fabric (cotton & bamboo covering) and found that it does shrink…. ALOT! I cut for foldable inserts for a OS Pocket at 15 x 17 and it shrank in length (dried on low) to 15 x 14.5. That’s a loss of 2.5 inches! I also used it new off the bold and have had some wicking issues. I am a micro fiber mom, and was hoping to find something thinner. This was supposed to be 2 x’s the absorbancy, but found that although it moves the moisture quickly, it is more likely the same or less than my microfiber. I’m very disappointed to say the least.

I will try washing my stash and see if they work any better, but now need to make more for the appropriate size. Any idea on how to pre shrink 10 yds of heavy zorb without cutting it up and wasting the fabric?

Hi,
Any updates on Zorb? I found this a really great read, but wondered whether anyone had any new experiences with it?
It sounds like a great fabric, and was hoping to try some, but would love to hear any suggestions?
Also, was it decided that it did shrink, or is it best not pre-washed?

Thanks!
Vici

I could never get past the non-absorbing phase with zorb…it seemed to always give me problems.

I’d tried to use this zorb with cottton sherpa on top and bottom of zorb.After 2x still cannot absorbed..even microfleece of the cd’s inner getting wet!Don’t know whats the problem..is it because of cotton sherpa or need to prewash 7-8 times.Need to try again..may be zorb best friend’s is bamboo knit terry or bamboo fleece..but not cotton sherpa.Need to try again on those fabric..:(

[...] Bamboo fleece is different than regular fleece I personally like bamboo velour best. But bamboo material can be very expensive. Another good thing for making something absorbent without making it too bulky is ZORB. This explains what zorb is http://allaboutclothdiapers.com/what…b-do-you-know/ [...]
