I do have a few vintage Startex terry towels, which are great, but older, and I wanted a newer choice. Kitchen towels can be found in so many places, but not all are the same quality.
In my auction finds for our vintage business I won a lot of vintage linens. There was a pile of flour sack towels that had embroidery on them (Monday, Tuesday, etc) that I loved, so I washed them and put them in my kitchen rotation.
Wow, was I sold on flour sack after trying them.
I decided I wanted to work on my own embroidery project, so hunted for some new flour sacks to purchase.
I have been very pleased with these.* I use them not only for embroidery, but covering bread after it's cooled, cleaning, hand drying. They wash up well, and remain soft and lint free.
When I was a child, we had no choice but to use flour sacks. I always like them. I have some new flour sacks that I love, too. I might switch back to flour sacks.
