DII Vintage Weekday Embroidered Flour Sack Towel Set of 7 Review

DII Vintage Weekday Embroidered Flour Sack Towel Set of 7
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I prefer flour sack dish towels because they do not leave lint on my dishes and glassware. Flour sack dish towels also tend to dry faster after use than other types of fabric.These are reminiscent of the ones my grandmothers embroidered . Seems we always had flour sack dish towels with days of the week in our house.
I only gave 4 stars due to the smaller size. I would have liked them better if they were a bit larger and a bit heavier.
They do look cute hanging on my Home Essentials Over The Cabinet Towel Bar along with my DII Country Essentials Heavyweight Dishcloth, Set of 8. (But cuteness doesn't get the job done-see update below).
These are identical to DII Vintage X-Stitch Embroidered Days-of-Week Floursack Dishtowel, Set of 7 except the price is lower and no picture is available currently. Could be just a glitch.
UPDATE: DEMOTING THESE TO 3 STARS DUE TO SMALL SIZE AND THINNESS OF FABRIC.
Think I will stick with getting my plain white flour sack dish towels from Lehman's. Their's are heavier, larger and more durable and it only takes one to dry dishes after a meal instead of the two these require.

Flour Sack Towels 33x38 2-Pack: White Review

I have had flour sack towels for 30 years and I love their softness, super absorbency, and lack of lint. But, these towels are stiff, and rough textured and do not absorb water from dishes, they merely smear the water over the surface.

Very nice curtains, especially for the price, no readily visible defects, don't look cheap. The colors are like the picture, tasteful and pretty. When it's time t wash them I plan to do it gingerly, because of all the cut-outs in the material. Very happy with them.

American Baby Company Organic Embroidered Receiving Blanket-Mocha Review

American Baby Company Organic Embroidered Receiving Blanket-Mocha
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm so surprised that someone thought this blanket was rough. How is that possible? The fabric is super soft - almost buttery! I love how it's stretchy and drapes so well. It just hangs down and stays where you put it. The sewn on teddy bear is not scratchy at all. The blanket is on the small side, a good size for swaddling a newborn. Now that my little one is older, I keep it in the diaper bag as an all purpose blanket, cover, etc. Because the fabric is so stretchy and drapes so well, it stays compact in the diaper bag. Highly recommended (unless you don't buy items from China).

Embroidery Floss Pack-Popular Colors 36/PK Review

Embroidery Floss Pack-Popular Colors 36/PK
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For some reason I'm going thru a pastel phase. Maybe it's because I never went through one as a child? Whatever the reason, I can't get enough of anything pastel colored and it's driving my husband crazy!
I plan on using these to hand embroider some white pillowcases. I'm very excited to start, but plan on it being one of my winter projects so I have a few more months to go before I use the floss.
As usual DMC quality is great. I've been working with wool floss lately, so this will be a nice change of pace.

Cotton Embroidery Floss - 105 Skeins Review

Cotton Embroidery Floss - 105 Skeins
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
All embrioderies are provided with tipical color numbers, that you should buy to finish the work. The "gold standard" is DMS color numbers. You can easily find converters in the internrt from "DMS number" to "Anchor number" or to some other tipes of floss but I have found nothing in the internet, that can help me to convert colors, provided in embriodery instructions to this Iris floss colors. Believe me, i tried a lot! I found many discussions of people, facing the same problem, but no solution. So in fact, I can not use it now in most cases. I have just ordered some DMS colors finaly.
Maybe it is just new on market and converters will appear later saomewhere, but as for now - it is very hard to make use of it, meaning.. to match colors you need.
The floss quality is good. and it is rather cheap.
