These 2-ply unpaper towels are super absorbent and made from 100% ORGANICALLY Grown cotton (GOTS Certified) that are serged around the edges for a clean finish. You can expect these work-horses to last for a very long time. Use them to mop up any spill, dry your hands, or for any typical use of paper towels. I throw mine in the washer and dryer with any and all loads of laundry (they take up very little space), because no special care is required. Finished size is 11 x 12 inches, and is made from a high quality birds-eye weave diaper fabric. Try them and love them, or send them back for a 100% refund. The fabric is imported from a Fair Trade "Farm to Finishing" Factory, where the workers are treated fairly and paid a living wage. They are cut, sewn and finished in the United States by Americans, who are also paid a living wage, generous benefits, and are treated well and have excellent working conditions.*********************** These are sewn with 100% Organic Cotton Thread in a natural color that matches the fabric.
