About this Product
These cloth paper towel substitutes are 100% cotton flannel and almost completely compostable, the only part not compostable is the thread around the edges!
They are reusable, and will reach their full absorbency after a few washes when the cotton fibers finally get to fluff back out after the process of being turned into fabric.
They are great for so many things, for casual soft cloth napkins, cleaning faces and fingers, clean ups.
They look great in a basket on the counter or also rolled up on a paper towel holder. The natural nap of the flannel will hold to itself when you roll it, you can just leave a space when you start rolling in the center or if to make it easier you can just roll around an empty paper towel tube.
1 dozen, 1 ply, 100% cotton flannel towels 10x12 (the size of the blue s'mores print in the comparison photo)
For a side by side comparison the towel size is the blue campfire/smores print in the picture and the wipes size is the watermelon print. This listing is for 1 dozen of the towel size.
care instructions
Wash as normal, but for maximum absorbency DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENERS, sheets or liquid. Did you know that fabric softeners actual coat fabrics in a thin film of plastic that makes them feel soft to the touch, but actually reduces the fabrics ability to absorb water and can actually make it repel water?! Not handy when you need to mop up that water that just got spilled!
Wool dryer balls or some white vinegar are some great natural alternatives to commercial fabric softeners that do not reduce absorbency.
Sew Crunchy Mama
Meet the Maker
Oooh. awkward... who likes to write about themselves?! not me!
But I would like to let you know who I am so here we go! I'll start off with the basics, I'm a Mama, a Wife and a Maker. My studio is the corner of our basement family room so I can still be around my family while I'm sewing and creating most of the time...and sometimes Mama does like some peace and quiet haha. My son goes to a Forest & Farm kindergarten and I spend some time volunteering there as well.
I've been creating my own reusable items and sewing for years...but I was recently inspired to do it for a living when I realized I just couldn't do corporate life anymore I needed to be creative and wanted to be able to work for myself, I wanted my work to have meaning to it. I want my items to bring people happiness while also helping to reduce the use of disposable items. When my son is an old man taking my great-grandkids for a hike or a swim I want them to be able to see a world that is still beautiful, not covered in old plastic. To this end when I source materials I avoid the use of plastic and polyester whenever I can and find a compostable/biodegradable alternative. My packaging is intentionally simple; often just cotton string and paper, but it's all compostable.
I want my company to do good not just for my family and those who buy my items, but also out in the world, which is why I'm so happy to have found goimaigine so every sale goes to help kids in need as well.
