Ah! Subject matter that is important to me
For me, sitting down to a nice meal, perhaps a glass of wine, with a proper dinner sized (*) napkin just elevates the dining experience.
I’ve made all of my cloth dinner napkins. I wash warm, and yes, I iron them to dry. Many are over 15 years old, and they still look brand new.
I do have some napkins that I made with a poly-cotton blend. I use them in my lunch kit, or when we are out on a picnic. If they get something greasier on them, I’ll soak them in some soapy water. They can go in the dryer, and because of the polyester, have minimal wrinkling, although the dryer fades the fabric.
