5 out of 5 starsI LOVE LOVE LOVE these !!!! This is my 5th set in about 5 years. They hold up great , don’t shrink and stay sewn together so well. I have lost my favorite print that is not offered anymore but don’t care. You can’t pay me to try some other alternative to paper towels.

5 out of 5 starsI've purchased many similar cloth towels to replace my paper towels, but came back to purchase these again as they are the most functional. And they're pretty too!

Do I want 2ply or 3ply Unpaper Towels?
2-ply towels include 1 layer of pretty front fabric (cotton or linen), and 1 layer of white birdseye cotton backing. Birdseye cotton is a thin, lightly textured, absorbent fabric that becomes more absorbent with washing. 2-ply towels are great for everyday cleaning, wiping counters and hands, and cleaning mirrors, mirrors, windows, and appliances. They dry a little faster and are priced a little lower.
3-ply towels include 1 layer of pretty front fabric (cotton or linen), and 2 layers of white birdseye cotton backing. 3-ply towels are a little thicker and more absorbent. It's fine to use them in all the same ways as 2-ply, but you will prefer these if you prefer a more absorbent towel.
Sizing details
Our Unpaper Towels are just under 7x11", which is similar in size to a half-sheet paper towel (which measure about 6x11).
The fabric is prewashed, so towels should not shrink when they are washed according to the wash instructions. If you dry your towels on high heat, which is not advised, they will probably shrink a little.
Can I roll the Unpaper Towels on a roll? Can you add snaps?
They don't cling to a roll since they are not made of flannel. If you'd like to add snaps, you crafty people can attempt that on your own!
I store mine folded in half in my towel drawer. If you're short on drawer space or want to keep your towels within reach, try a napkin holder, crock, or basket on your counter.
