I'm with Miriam. Make a few cheaper ones and the others will sell fast. I purchased some really heavy duty potholders for $6 ea. at a craft show 9 years ago made out of thick terry cloth. Hubby thought I was nuts. Guess who uses them when he gets the grill fired up. I have to go outside and collect them, if I want to use them. I also wash mine on a weekly basis with my towels. I shiver at the thought of those who never wash their potholders. Many of those users are "cleaning fanatics".
