Hemp prefolds are rectangles of cotton/hemp that have been folded and sewn together. A prefold has extra layers in the center of the diaper along with two lines of stitching which divided the diaper into thirds.
Hemp prefolds need to be washed 7-8 times in very hot water (dry in the dryer each time) to reach maximum absorbency (they haven't gone through the bleaching process which means it is necessary to wash them often enough to strip off the natural oils from the hemp.)
Hemp prefolds start out soft and fluffy and will shrink more than cotton prefolds. Depending on the fold and cover, prefolds can be very trim or very bulky.
