GMD workhorse ?

I have 2 dz orange edge GMD prefolds. I keep seeing people mention GMD workhorse prefolds. Are these the same thing? I don't see a place to specify workhorse on the website, but maybe I'm just missing it.

And also- after prefolds are prepped, can they be line dried or do they need the heat from the dryer every time they are washed?

ETA: Just realized that maybe the workhorse refers to FITTEDS. Is that correct, or are there workhorse prefolds as well?

    The workhorse diapers are prefolds that resewn into fitted diapers. I think you might be missing it on their website. I would give you a link but it is a PITA on an iPad. You can line dry prefolds but I don't recommend it. They get stiff and seem less absorbent. If you want to save on the dryer you could start them on a line and finish them off in the dryer. This often happens naturally if you want to sun them a bit.

    I believe the workhorses refer to the fitteds. It looks like they are the same as the prefolds, just sewn into a fitted. They are sized with the same colors as the prefolds - so orange edge is NB for both.

    ETA: I always put my prefolds in the dryer - they are much softer that way. Also you may not be able to find them as easily because they are called "Cloth-eez"

    Ok, it makes sense now.I wish I had added a few of the workhorse fitteds to my order.

    I'll just dry the prefolds in the dryer. The weather has been so nice, but it sounds like they would be crunchy like towels, so no thanks.

    You can hang dry and then throw them in the dryer a few minutes at the end to soften them up.
