Hand wash???

 We grabbed some new dishtowels from Kmart on a recent shopping trip,
Martha Stewfart approved if that matters.  Washed them and they came
out incredibly wrinkled.  Looked on the label... Made in India, 100%
cotton.  HAND WASH in cold water.  Right, we'll get mammy to do that
next time.   WTF???  HAND WASH dish towels???  Gee, what next, ironing
paper towels before use?

It's that 100% cotton that is the wrinkle magnet. I don't know about
hand washing them but you probably want to line dry and iron. :)

Or, less hassle but still a minor annoyance, remove them from the dryer when
they're still slightly damp and smooth the wrinkles out. Personally I'd just
take them back to Kmart. They're pretty good about accepting returns.

DH went on a spree a while back buying those white terrycloth shop towels.
We use them in the kitchen now as hand towels and they work well as dish
towels, too.

 

Bar rags.  White terry cloth.  Cost about $3 for 12 of them.  They are the
best.  Bleach them, then throw them away when they get holey.

It could also be how the cotton is finished. We have 100% cotton sheets
that come out of the dryer in reasonable condition. Then we have other
100% cotton sheets that just wad up into a wrinkled ball of fabric in
the dryer. Short of ironing them - like that's gonna happen - those
particular sheets always look like hell. Impossible to fold.

I would do what other's have suggested - take them back. That's just
silly.
