At my aunt's house, there's a room filled with gifts. Actually, two rooms (lol). "Auntie, you have so many towels, you couldn't use them all up even if you used a new one every day (lol)." So, I got some new towels that weren't in boxes, just in a big plastic bag. After I got home, I washed them once. Then, I cut off the folded edges of the towels, folded them in quarters, and sewed them. The towels were free, thanks to my aunt, but I used Fujix Chappe Copain thread. These days, you can buy it at the 100-yen stores, but these towels absorb water pretty well, and since I cut off the thick edges, they're easy to wring out. I gave one to my sister, and she's using it in the kitchen. She said, "I can wipe everything up at once, and I want to give them to my friends too." Also good for your children's new school year. Simple packaging. Please purchase only if you understand.
