flour sack towel

Absorbent dish rag

A flour sack towel is a lightweight, absorbent kitchen cloth made from loosely woven cotton—originally repurposed from the fabric bags that held flour.

The weave becomes softer and more absorbent with washing.

Valued for drying dishes, covering bread dough, and straining liquids, they're lint-free and dry quickly: I keep a stack of flour sack towels by the sink.
