Not to mention that it's grey so it won't interfere with your going on in kitchen visual schemes. The towel itself is handmade, and a bit different. It is and it's a nice addition to your housewarming gift, but the print is special. It's really about the charm of the item you're paying for as much as the function.

It becomes more absorbent the more you wash and rewash it. And these large and lovely beauties are 28 x 28. (So you can dry a bunch of dishes and wipe your counter off too). The screen print is non-toxic, so you won't get the chemical smell when you first open it. Definately decorative, but not too decorative, so that it's not functional.

In fact, it looks more like an old-faithful kitchen classic than a novelty item that's only funny for one laugh. Handmade in Moonlight Makers' Asheville studio. That gray color keeps it from being cheesy, even when you leave it out on an open shelf or hanging in your bathroom. After a few washes, it'll be much more effective at sucking up water than when you first got it. I'll burn calories while laughing. I'm taking that excuse.

Laughing while you dry dishes counts as a small win, and this flour-sack towel earns its place on the oven handle. The "I Have Asked You Thrice Now for A Towel" print lands every time, screen printed in non-toxic ink on 100% cotton.

Handmade in Asheville, it's a genuinely useful housewarming gift rather than a gag that gets tossed in a drawer. Occasional flecks of colored thread are normal for recycled cotton.

One of the few things that actually deserves a spot on your kitchen counter.

They’ll start out a little flat and stiff — but after some laundry duty they become super absorbent little powerhouses. The 100% cotton weave is light enough that they’re good for streak-free glassware, and since they’re made by hand in their Asheville studio, you might find little pops of color from threads in the natural fabric (a small quirk not an issue). Everyday use or break them up for gifts.
