Back to basics.
Like any dependable kitchen basic, these large, cotton flour sack towels can play multiple starring roles: use them as oven mitts, trivets, and an impromptu dish rack. Reach for them to dry off delicate lettuces, wipe up spills, cover a bowl of rising dough, and dry dishes—we even love them as hand towels in a guest bathroom.

I love them
What I did with them: I painted them matching some of my designs with the contrasting Edge and using them for napkins. I used permanent paint drew a design, and had fun doing it and everyone couldn't believed what I had done.
