Is this a good fabric for making tea towels? I am looking for something a little more heavyweight than flour sack.

I made a caftan out of it, and it's perfectly fine. I love the weight of it, and I would think it would be ok.

Yes- this fabric would be suitable. It is a very christmas red colour .Hope this helps and Happy New Year!

I have used old kitchen towels... as long as they are not very thick... they work great!

My impulse is to say no. I bought the fabric to make a blouse for a costume for a friend, and even for that purpose the material needed to be lined because it was thin enough to be too sheer in the white areas. The material is about as thick and sturdy as a satin bed sheet. I hope this helps.

I actually bought these sheets to be the backs for two matching quilts I am making for my daughters. I have not used them as sheets. However, they are not cotton; they are microfiber. They are specially made to be soft, wrinkle resistant, durable, and cool. They have the ability to wick moisture away. So, I can't really answer your question other than pass on what I read about microfiber products; which I did look into before buying. I am pleased with the product and will buy the exact same set when I finish up the duvet I am making for myself.

I have found this product very good for my needs. As a string cover, it would be good as it is quite thick and dense, and is easily cleaned with a vacum. Hope this answer helps.

It really is more like a generic shammy. So it takes up little room when expanded and refolded. It went around me and worked well while camping. I have now used it for dusting and washing my car. Really not what you might think as a beach towel.

Well, yes, and no. I found these towels great for embroidery! They washed well, no ironing needed!! They took transfer well, and were so long, that I was able to cut a couple in half to use. I thoroughly enjoyed embroidering these, and it seemed to go fast! But these towels aren't vintage in any way, and are a nice crisp white. You could have a lot of fun altering these to look more vintage, so,....enjoy !!!

Wow--don't know. I made bags for some bulky pieces and lined drawers w/cloth. We used rest of the fabric to lay over items in drawers. It works very well for us! Hope this helps.

Awful it feels a lot like microfiber. A washcloth is twice as thick as this. If you find the old fashion kind like the ones that first came out on the market made of a thick cotton can you please send me the info on how to get them. My old ones are worn out but I won't spend more money till I get the real thing. Thanks. I hope it helped you.

Cotton. Not Terry Cloth. These are rather thin...and soft. Great for crystal glasses. I have used them for embroidery but the weave is on the open side. Probably not a good gift as they look a bit worn. Aunt Martha's are better for gifting. They will eventually get soft. I have used both of these. Prefer Aunt M's for gifts.Aunt Martha's 28-Inch by 28-Inch Flour Sack Dish Towels, Premium 130 Thread Count, White, Set of 7

These are cotton terry towels - not the flour sack type. (When I ordered them, I didn't realize that either). So, I don't think this is what you need for embroidery purposes.

I used this to make a fleece blanket, but it does have some stretch to it. The material is very similar to that of my fleece pajama pants so I would think that is is suitable to use for lounge wear. I hope this helps!

I have found them to be very absorbent. They are very cushy and really soak up water. Also, btw, using less fabric softener (I use half a sheet instead of a whole sheet) can make towels more absorbent.

I have about 5 of these and use them primarily for bath towels (they are light, absorbent, and fast drying) but have also used them for: the beach, a scarf, and a table covering. While they can be used for a variety of different things, I'm not sure bath robe is a fitting description. They are quite large though, so are a comfy post bath wrap around - perhaps that's what is meant?

The flour sack towels are great for drying most anything you wish to. I use mine for dishes and my first lady has embroidered some and they did extra good.Mark, down here in TEXAS

I have not used one of these towels before << disclaimer, but i have done a lotttt of camping and i think you're going to want a towel that is a bit more robust. If there's even the chance that it'll disintegrate and it sounds like it's paper thing, i wouldn't put all my eggs in my pocket....just a bit of friendly advice from a fellow glamper.
