Organic Dish Towel Find

organic-dish-4-towels.jpgLucky day. As I mentioned in my Paper Towel Challenge Update, I’m adding to my dish towel collection to make sure I’m always stocked up.

I didn’t expect to find organic dish towels at Target, but there they were. They had both organic mop towels and flour sack towels. I chose a 4-pack of the organic mop towels for $6.99. They’re sold under the Target Home brand.

Here’s some more info on the towels: They contain 100% organically grown cotton fiber and eco-friendly dyes. The packaging is printed with vegetable-based ink on 80% post-consumer recycled paper.

And they’re soft and seemingly durable. I’ll let you know how they hold up after several uses.

Have you found any nice organic dish towels?

    I haven’t actually shopped for any because I make my own (knit them out of organic cotton). Still, it’s always nice when stores make an effort to go green.

    Hi Del. Thanks for your response. I’m glad that organic cotton material is available for knitting.

    Thanks for letting us know about these Peggy. I think my summer project might be to knit some towels as well though. Sounds like a fun thing to do. :)

    Well, sounds like I need to learn to knit. That does seem like a good summer project Jodi.

    Del, what a great idea to knit your own dish towels. Can you tell me where you got the organic cotton?
