Beautiful batiks! But, I would be sure that I washed them first - especially the two dark blue ones. They BLEED a lot. I had to throw away a blue one that would not stop bleeding. I put them in a pure white dish pan with a drop of liquid soap and gently swish them around - start with the lightest colors and then go to the darker ones. I use warm water and a cool rinse. I lay them out of big, thirsty towels on my kitchen counter and roll them up for a few minutes and then put them over a clothesline in my utility room - very little wrinkling that way.
