KAF Home Flour Sack Kitchen Towels, White, Set of 4, 100% Cotton

Excellent

I got these to replace my old flour-sack towels, which were 20 years old and started getting holes in them. They are nice and big. I use them for one purpose only: I put 2 of them together to strain yogurt, which I have been making myself for many years. I strain it until the whey & yogurt are about equal. The yogurt is now like Greek yogurt. The towels have a nice stitched border and are the perfect weave for my purpose. Tight, but not too tight. They wash well and didn't shrink much. They are a generous size, I can gather the edges over my 2 gallons of yogurt and twist hang it, no problem. I know they are great for other purposes, like glassware, because they have no lint. But I just keep these for yogurt. Now I have 4. They will probably last 40 years, since the last 2 lasted 20. I use and wash 2 of them about every 2 weeks. Let's see, 12-1/2 cents a year per towel. A good deal.

Since I couldn't find cafe curtains that I liked, I decided to use just regular cotton kitchen towels as curtains. These worked just fine. I'm even thinking about doing a little iron on design to dress them up further. They are a nice big size if you would want to use them around the house.

I've been spoiled over the years using my grandmother's vintage flour sack towels, but as they wear out looking for replacements hasn't been easy. Some were too fluffy or large while others absorbed nothing. These are the best replacements I've found. They dry well, their size isn't so massive it renders them useless, and they're soft while maintaining that flat unwrinckled look . I've ordered several more since. If you were looking for the right ones to use as kitchen towels these are it!

There's probably a way to wash and dry these without having them turn out as a wrinkled mess, but I haven't found it yet...and there are no washing instructions on the sacks. I've tried every possible combination of warm, hot and cold and they turn out horrible every time. Finally put them in the rag bag. Maybe they'll be good for wiping up spills or shining shoes!

My son needed some dish towels; those he had were laid to rest! I purchased these because I believe in the quality and super absorbency of flour sacks! I grew up wiping dishes with white flour sacks - they washed beautifully in the machine. held their white bright color, and were very durable. He loves them and was quite surprised that flour sacks work MUCH BETTER than any commercial type! WTG Kaf Home - we are two happy campers!

Bought these towels to embroider. As they are all cotton and shrinkage is a high possibility I washed and dried them according to the label directions . Very disappointed. The towels came out looking more like a wrinkly gauze-like fabric. Ironing did not help. Towel are really thin. The only thing they were suitable for was to cover freshly-baked bread loaves. Will not buy these again.

Bought these same flour sack towels about a year ago and liked them so much that I purchased the towels again, but the new purchase didn’t seem like the ones I bought a year ago. The new ones are quite thin and don’t think they will last.
