Aunt Martha'sDish Towels, 33 by 38-Inch, 7 Count, White

I am very happy with this purchase. The dish towels are well made and include a loop for hanging. The quick delivery was appreciated.

I'm pretty old, and these are basically the same towels you remember hanging around your mother's and grandmother's house from years ago.We don't have room for a dishwasher, so we use them to dry dishes, but they can be used for all sorts of needs.They're very absorbent and dry quicky. I've been buying them for years, but they became harder and harder to find around here. Thanks to the Amazon vendor for making it easy to purchase!Good luck!

Love the tight weave of these towels, perfect for embroidery and amazing for the daily use of drying towels.

For environmental and sanitary reasons, I use plain white dish towels to dry vegetables and fruit after washing them. I keep a bunch of towels handy so I am not limited when I am on a roll prepping vegetables and/or fruit for cooking, or cleaning my newly-purchased veggies and fruits to keep until later. Aunt Martha's 33-Inch by 38-Inch Flour Sack Dish Towels work great for that. Additionally, using these towels as I do, I use far fewer paper towels, which is good for the environment, frees-up cupboard space, and is good for my wallet.The towels are all-white so I do not worry about preserving a print or embroidery on them. When my son, a chef, is cooking in my kitchen, he has white cloths to abuse like they do in professional kitchens and I don’t have to worry about him staining my pretty kitchen towels.After use, I just toss the towels into a laundry basket and when I have enough for a load I wash them with a just a little bleach for disinfecting. Because they don’t need to look nice for decorative purposes, it doesn’t matter if they’re stained, but if a person cares about that and doesn’t use bleach for whitening, a soak in some Oxywhitening will maintain the white color.Because they are so large, I dry these towels in a hot dryer without worrying about shrinkage. They do not take long to dry, which is good for conserving energy, bringing down one’s electric bill and contributing to the preservation of the earth’s environment. The truly dedicated can hang the towels outside where the sun will dry them in a snap.These dish towels are large enough to work for anything I wash and prepare. In fact, they are bigger than I need for a lot of fruits and veggies. When that’s the case, I just keep using the dry sections until I’m either done or the towel is too wet to absorb any more and I need to grab another one.These towels really are absorbent. I like how dry just-washed herbs and lettuce are after a roll in one of these towels. It’s so much less hassle to clean and dry herbs and lettuce that way versus a salad spinner or paper towels. (Who knows what’s on paper towels? Paper towels also cannot absorb much before they are too wet too fast and one needs more of them.) I just just roll wet herbs or lettuce up in one of these towels, give it a few quick, firm squeezes, and the produce is dryer than when I used a salad spinner; they’re dry enough to use right away. These towels are so absorbent that by the time I am finished with one it is very damp to soaking wet, so when I am finished with my work, I throw it on my kitchen floor and using my feet, I push it quickly around my kitchen floor to wipe up spills and spots before I toss the towel in the hamper.When I opened the package I found no fraying edges and they have stayed that way for months despite regular machine washing in cold water with small amounts of bleach and hot machine drying.I am happy with this purchase.

I bought these to hand embroider on and I’ve bought these towels in the past at JoAnn and loved them! JoAnn didn’t have any in stock so I bought from Amazon. These ones are a nice tight weave and are square and have a very nice edge to them with a hanging strap as well. The issue I have with these ones that I ordered off Amazon is that every single towel has something going on with the weave from when they were being made. It’s something that is in the thread when it’s being made. See photos I attached of the little lines in them. I’m keeping these ones for myself but if I were making these for someone else or selling these I would be returning them due to the imperfections in the towels. Gave them 4 starts just because they are really really nice for embroidery. Lost a star due to the thread thing going on in every towel.

These towels are cut right and stay that way when washed. Very happy with the quality.

Lemme tell ya what I’m lookin for in a flour sack towel. The criteria aren’t complicated: sturdy, dense, tightly-woven, heavy weight, straight-edged, well-hemmed, unblemished. A piece of fabric of sufficient quality to serve elegantly on the lap as a table napkin; or in the kitchen serving an all-purpose roll ranging from oven hot-pad, to dish drying, to finger towel draped over the chef’s shoulder; or in the utility room as a champion all-purpose cleaning cloth --- particularly on windows. How hard can that be? Apparently it’s pretty hard because most offerings peddled as “flour sack towels” don’t come close. To find towels that measure up, I bought six different offerings based on description and customer reviews and considered each carefully.
