I had a lot left over, and decided to make dishtowels, since some vintage dishtowels are made of it. That was how I found out about wrinkling. I don't like the idea of having to iron dishtowels. The picture shows what they look like coming out of the dryer and after ironing. This is unbleached, and perhaps the bleached version is much softer.
yes - that looks like exactly what I have
Thank you for your reply
I did prewash, but I didn't consider wrinkling
..... hhmmmmm My main concern is that it doesn't fall apart ha ha ha
your embroidery looks great on those... but I know what you mean about ironing
