I made three towels from three yards of fabric. Love the weight of it. (The selvedge makes finishing these as towels especially easy) I plan to do a little embroidery on these and gift them for Christmas.

Bought 3 yds. Made dish cloths that worked greatly. Very thirsty.

Haven't used it yet but will be making table runners and back drapes for the patio furniture. Looking forward to trying it

I originally bought this to make dishtowels, but my head dishwasher didn't like them because even after being washed a dozen times, they were too crumpled, coarse and hard for him to use. However, they make great exfoliating washcloths, mitts and back scrubbers! All the great qualities of linen--absorbent, fast-drying--plus the coarseness of this fabric are perfect for this!

After the double wash in the sink with hot water and later dry tumbling on medium and hanging to relax the fabric; got nice material for making dish towels. The selvage its solid enough to only make a fold on fold sewing at the ends. Very happy with the fabric.

heavier than anticipated. But, following the rules with working with linen, plus 2 extra wash in hot water and sunshine line dry making up to be delightful dish towels.

I preshrunk the fabric and pressed and pressed and steamed and pressed and steamed and pressed again. I don't like the ruffled look for a runner, and it's impossible to flatten the selvage. After a year in the closet, it's out again and will be used for rectangular pillows or towels. (after pressing and steaming again with no luck). The thick fabric makes side seams/hems too bulky.

I bought a doggie bag piece of this in another color and made a couple of towels for myself, then 8 yards of this color to make more for a wedding present. It's beautiful and works best if you hem it before washing. It's a lot heavier than huck toweling, and feels really rough the first few washings, but it's nice once it's broken in. I predict at least 20 years of service out of them.

I purchased three yards and made four towels for the kitchen. I loved that the sides didn't need any sewing because of the selvages. I made simple "rolled" hems, then washed them twice in hot water and dried them in the dryer. They were quite wrinkled, so I ironed them with the iron on the steam setting. The towels are quite thick and not soft (yet) but so far they are great at actually soaking up water (something I've discovered is difficult to find in a towel. :0/) The dark color should keep them from showing stains too readily, too! If they keep performing well, I'll be purchasing more to make towels for gifts. :)

Like many of you I ordered this for kitchen towels. Never having worked with canvas (or much with any linen) before, I was very unhappily surprised by the massive shrinkage. I wish this had been noted in the description -- I still would have ordered it, but would have ordered differently. Now, after initially cutting off inches of ravel and hemming, and washing often, I love this fabric. It's hefty, sturdy, and has the most wonderful hand. It's my workhorse daily towel and I'm ordering more. Hemming FIRST this time, then shrinking. Hoping that will work better!
