Questions & Answers
They're quite substantial, in my opinion. It's a pleasure to embroider on this fabric. Make sure to thoroughly clean your hands.
These are the heaviest, nicest towels you'll find period, according to the label on our last order, which also says India.
They have not shrunk for me yet. These haven't lost their shape, distorted the embroidery design, or shrunk away from the fabric borders I've added despite being washed in hot water, rinsed in cold water, and tumble dried the majority of the time.
These are the same size and price as the Osocozy bleached cotton (white) flat diapers available on Walmart's website; the diapers appear to be fluffier, but I'll see if there's a difference in absorbency after they've been washed and dried a few times.

Over the years, I've bought 15 to 20 different "flour sack towels," and none of them have ever lived up to the standard set by Williams Sonoma 25 years ago.

I used hot water, laundry detergent, and an oxyclean bleach alternative to wash the towels (chlorine bleach is difficult to come by these days). I used high heat and no dryer sheets to dry them.

Everywhere in the kitchen, I use flour sack towels. Dishes to dry, countertops to dry, spills to clean up, under the dish drainer to cover yeast dough as it rises, and, most importantly, drying my hands these days. I was pleasantly surprised by how absorbent these towels were after only one wash - It dried the dishes better than most (not perfectly, but it was only one wash), it dried the countertop well, it was great for drying my hands, and it worked perfectly for covering the rising pizza crust dough. Even when folded and left on the counter, they dried quickly. I haven't yet mopped up coffee, juice, tomato sauce, or other spills, so I'm not sure how clean they'll get after a sink rinse or machine wash; however, even if they retain some stains, they're still far superior to any other towels I've bought in the last 15 years. br>br>Strongly suggested. br>br> Today, I'm going to buy some more.

I purchased these towels with the intention of embroidering them with my machine. They are nice heavy cotton towels with a 130 thread count and are straight cut and hemmed. I'll make another purchase. br>However, I'm making these to sell, and the first towel I pulled out of the package had a flaw. I embroidered over a small hole in the weave in the area in the hopes of covering and patching the flaw, but it didn't work. br>I'm afraid I won't be able to sell this towel, but the others should be. I had hoped to track down the vendor and ask about replacing the single towel, but that was not an option for this item. The only other option was to leave a review on the website. So there you have it. br>I have photos of the flaw attached. The rest of the towels are very nice, and if I could have contacted the vendor directly, Aunt Martha's towels would have received 5 stars.

These dish towels were purchased for a few embroidery projects that I wanted to complete as gifts. When I first got them, I was ecstatic. The material is of exceptional quality. Because of their size, I divided each towel into four sets of four, which is still plenty for use. In theory, I can make 28 dish towels from a single order. At $22 for a set of seven towels, this is a fantastic value, especially given the high quality of these towels. They wash well and have a slight 'wrinkle' to them that gives them a vintage feel. That not only looks good, but it also adds to the delicate nature of these towels. br>br>I'll definitely buy from you again. br>br>I used Tear away stabilizer on the bottom and a water soluble stabilizer on the top to embroider.
