I was surprised at how bright the colors were. I thought feed sacks were kinda like flour sacks and the printing was on the pale side, like it was faded. I use what I think is feed sack dish towels and love them. They are so light weight and absorb water really well. Of course, they are just plain white. I got my first ones at Elliot's Hardware in Dallas about 25 yrs. ago. Then I found some at Williams Sanoma in Houston. A few months ago, I found some at Walmart.
