Know before you buy
The towel measures 28 inches by 28 inches when fully unfolded, providing a large surface area for drying dishes or lining serving baskets.
Yes, flour sack towels are prized for their high absorbency and lint-free finish, making them excellent for drying glassware and delicate dishes.
The design is printed to be durable, but to maintain the vibrancy of the graphic, we recommend washing in cold water and avoiding harsh bleach.
While the fabric is durable, it is thin. It works well for handling warm items or as a trivet, but it should not be used as a replacement for a thick, heat-resistant oven mitt when handling heavy or very hot pots.
Like most 100% cotton flour sack towels, you may experience slight shrinkage after the first wash. We recommend air drying or using a low-heat tumble dry setting to minimize this.
