Alice's Cottage Flour Sack Kitchen Towels

Flour sack towels are made from a thinner, plain-weave cotton fabric that is exceptionally lightweight and lint-free. Unlike terry cloth, which uses loops to absorb water, flour sack towels rely on the weave's density to wick moisture away quickly, making them ideal for drying glassware and polishing surfaces without leaving streaks.

Yes, they are highly absorbent. While they are thinner than traditional terry towels, the 100% cotton construction allows them to soak up spills and dry dishes efficiently. They also dry out much faster between uses, which helps prevent that musty kitchen towel smell.

The longevity of the print depends on your care routine. To keep the design vibrant, we recommend washing in cold water with like colors and avoiding harsh bleaches or high-heat tumble drying, which can break down the fibers and the ink over time.

Each set includes two towels featuring the floral and butterfly motif. This makes them a convenient option for rotating between your sink and oven handle or for keeping one clean while the other is in the wash.

As with most 100% cotton textiles, you can expect a small amount of natural shrinkage after the first wash. To minimize this, wash in cool water and tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang them to air dry.
