I can't get enough of the TEKLA dishtowels. At $.49, I use them like paper towels (and then wash and re-use). They're fantastic for wiping counters, used as napkins, wiping muddy dog feet, and, of course, as dishtowels. I buy them by the dozen.
I bought a dozen of those Ikea dishrags and have been meaning to zip up an "unconstructed" kitchen curtain. It's on my "greeting card to do list".
I bought similar ones 99 cents apiece at the local dollar store!
Rick rack heaven!
