[Sca-cooks] Kitchen Towels

[Huette von Ahrens]

Are you making these for your home or for feasts?

The problem with fabrics by the yard is that they are not the same as fabrics used in
real towels.  I don't think that they have the same absorbency factors as store bought 
towels.  

For my own kitchen, I try to buy the best I can find within a reasonable price range,
as I want them to last a long time.  For my feasts, I go the the 99 Cents only store
and by their towels.  Mostly because during my feasts they become so grubby and disgusting
I want to chuck them all afterwards.  I don't feel so bad in chucking something that I
purchased at 3 for 99 cents.  But that is just me.  YMMV.

Remember that while money talks, chocolate sings.
