I found these on Amazon-of all places-after years of browsing in stores that sell potholders, towels and such without success. I wanted something soft and cottony similar to the pair that is leaking its stuffing after many years of service. The only reason I fail to give these a five star review is they are a tad larger than I would have preferred and because there is no 4 1/2 star rating!Really like this potholder, wish it was a little thinner, but thick is great...Washes up nicely so far.I was so happy to find terry cloth pot holders to replace some I have had for years.I didn't think they made them any more.The new ones are even better than the old. They are thicker,hence better protection, and they wash well.I have used Ritz pot holders for years. So happy I found them again on Amazon. Wash well, easy to grab your pans. Not stuff and slippery.Sturdy beautiful pot holders. Not bulky so easy to pick up a hot dish. I would only use RITZ pot holdersI choose these because of the size and was hoping that the terry would be think enough. They are great. Size and thickness. Wash well and were just what I wanted. This quality is hard to find.These are nice and thick, hard to find this quality in stores, finally gave up and found them on Amazon. I have washed them and they wash and dry great.Just what I expected, Heavy weight but not to thick that it is a problem
