My favorite are Kay Dee Designs. They are white, thick and embroider beautifully. I checked online and they are at Mainstreet-store.com. Comparable, and excellent flour sack towels are sold at Hobby Lobby and Hancock Fabrics. They are Aunt Martha Premium (130 thread count). They are 'wrinkly', and not everyone likes that, but they do iron out very nicely. I just made 14 towels for gifts, and every stitch came out as I expected. These are tough towels, hemmed, and have a hanging tab in one corner. With 40% off coupon for both places, I have been getting them for about $2 each towel. Very reasonable for excellent quality towels.
I will add I purchased 10 pkgs (The white ones. I needed to get them done quickly so I purchased all at once hoping they were the good ones.) from Blain's Fleet Farm and returned every one of them. Too thin. The count should be at minimum 130 (which makes a premium towel). They are cheaper there, but I will pay a tad more for quality. If you are hand-embroidering, they may be ok. For machine embroidery-I personally won't embroider on anything less than premium towels.

Check Herrschner's. They have them online herrschners.com. Maybe that will help you. I always got mine in January at Walgreen's. I would buy like 49 at a time, so I could embroider them and give them as a seven day set (I never put the day on) They also have good transfers also (you can find the same at Hancock's). Hope this helps! Edie

Thanks for the post and all of the replies. I had purchased them at walmart, but when I went to get some this week they looked like cheesecloth. I wanted to machine embroider some for Christmas gifts. I will be going out of town next week and will check out their Hobby Lobby.
