This oversized cloth can be used around the kitchen as a dishcloth/dishtowel. Six layers of mosquito net is super absorbent & the open weave makes it quick to dry! The fabric will shrink up & get softer as you use & wash it. The cloth is printed w/ sweet basil. 100% Cotton. Each dishcloth measures approx. 17" W x 17" H. Wash before first use. Machine wash cold separately in a delicates bag, line dry. No bleach. Will shrink when washed & be bunched up after washing/drying. However. it expands again when it gets wet. (After washing/drying measures approx. 11" sq. & when wet again for use expands to about 12 1/2" sq.) Cloths have a tied on hang tag. There may be small smudges in the print on the cloth on arrival due to the open weave texture of the fabric. The print does not bleed when washed, but may appear smudged significantly in certain areas after use & from washing/drying. It is most likely from the layers shifting around and the print becoming mis-aligned (see photo).
