The
Gourmet Flour Sack Towel Story
 lour
sack towels are truly legendary. Many of us still remember the days
when families would purchase their household flour in sacks weighing
50 or 100 pounds, place the entire sack into a large container from
which flour would be scooped until the sack was empty. The sack would
be laundered and bleached, skillfully cut, hemmed and then put to
many household uses as these were often the only towels available
in the home.
Flour
sack towels were commonly used in homes as kitchen towels, cleaning
and polishing cloths, diapers and as underclothing. Many were sewn
together to make sheets and pillowcases in homes that could not afford
regular bedding. Even now you may still see them being used in nurseries.
Since
flour sack towels are super soft, completely lint-free, absorb like
a paper towel and dry faster than most kitchen towels, they add unsurpassed
sparkle to dishes, glassware and windows. They make superb dusting
cloths and have many culinary uses. They are used for dehydrating,
straining cloths for stocks and sauces, poaching, cheese making,
pastry, proofing bread, microwave cooking and they keep salads fresh
for hours.
Homemakers
have enjoyed using flour sack towels for generations. They are still
the best bargain for dishtowels and the get better with every use.
All the nubs, imperfections and shadings are characteristics of this
fine towel.
They
are considered gourmet towels among chef's and food service professionals
everywhere. When you see a towel over a chef's shoulder or tucked
in an apron; it is almost always a Home Basic™ Brand Gourmet
Flour Sack Towel.
Since
these towels are pre-washed, pre-shrunk and resistant to unraveling,
crafters have found them to be wonderful for embroidery, applique,
stamping and useful in many other craft projects.
We are
proud to bring you the same truly old-fashioned, all cotton weave
towel that Grandma knew was best.
