Cotton Cloth Napkins Set of 4 18x18 Inch Textured Fabric, Hemstitched, Machine Washable – Wedding, Thanksgiving, Dinner Table Napkin with Retail Gift Packaging

The photo of greenish napkins shows Bedding Craft "Bird Egg Gray" napkins with Payal lace trim on the left and Bedding Craft "Aqua" hemstitched napkins on the right. Both are pretty, but those on the left are probably a better color match for jadeite green glass, which is what I'm looking for. (See small upside down dipping bowl on the napkins for reference). I wish the colors in the photos online were more realistic and not artificislly color adjusted and amped up by whoever is their graphic designer. It's irritating when the marketing photos don't show what the colors look like in real life. It's also bizarre how the people naming these colors don't understand color words well enough to know that "Aqua" is a turquoise shade of blue, not a shade of green! I appreciate reviewers who show the colors in real life, but I wish the reviewers would say what color they ordered. We need more real-life photos, folks. The various pinks and blues and greens are especially hard to identify. I'm lucky that I pay for Amazon prime so I can get free shipping and free returns; I can afford to over-order, see the colors in real life, and then return, as needed --- but what an inefficient method! I do like the quality of the 100% cotton and the thickness of the napkins from this company. I also like the mitered corners a lot. I am going to risk keeping the pretty napkins that have thrvso-called "Payal" lace trim, but I am worried about whether the lace will fray, fade, or get bad looking over time. Most of the Payal lace trimmed napkins have a single length of lace sewn around the four sides of the napkin with one corner having a joined overlap, but a few napkins have a second joined spot where the lace was not continuous and a fee have a spot where the full little embroidered circle of lace was skimpy. I will try to remember to edit my review at some point in the future and report whether the lace frays in spots where the lace ends or was joined. I ordered several kinds of pink napkins and decided to also keep the "Payal Lace Wild Orchid" pink napkins. Strangely, the Wild Orchid color from Bedding Craft (same company) in the hemstitched design was a slightly different shade of pink. I suppose that must be due to dye lots. For comparison, I show, also, thr "Baby Pink" hemstitched napkins from thr Homidate company. It's too bad that one can't really judge close color variations without seeing the fabric in person.

Adorable white napkins with a decorative lace. Washed well. You do need to iron them if you don’t get them out of the dryer and fold them immediately. They did not shrink. The quality is great and I look forward to using these for many events.

Fabric was a little thin, but it was what I was looking for

beautiful

These napkins have almost no color. They are a bluish greyish white. Labeled as "lavender blue." They are not what is pictured. Seems well made. Would have been 5 stars if not for the color.

I was so happy to see that these were true to color, and not some sort of orange/yellow. They are nice, bright yellow. The fabric itself is thin enough to fold, but thick enough to clean up a mess on a face if needed. They don't block out all light if you hold them up to a bright light, but the weave is consistent, and tight enough that they won't make a mess if you spill something on them while they sit on your lap. They are packaged well, and are easy to get going right away. They fold really nice, and I think the distressed border is a good choice, since even if some strings break off over time, it won't be noticed overall, making them last longer compared to ones with an edge that needs to be pristine. For a napkin, they just work. They soak up enough, they clean a face, and they function just how you would want. They are thin enough to fold intricately if you want, or stuff in a tube, or just fold and leave out. They don't feel cheap at all.

These napkins are a great value. They are soft and absorbent, and I love that they’re 100% cotton. The color fits in perfectly with my kitchen. I’m pleasantly surprised by the thickness and absorbency of the fabric. They have a smooth finish and look nice. The fringe edge gives them a casual look. They are great napkins for everyday use. They look nice, but not so nice that you want to avoid using them to keep them like new. Since they’re cotton, they do shrink a little. The shrinkage happened mostly in one direction, so they ended up slightly rectangular rather than square. After washing and drying, they do need to be ironed if you want them to look crisp. I’m including a photo with 3 napkins on my 20-inch floor tile so you can see the size difference with shrinkage: first is a new napkin, second is washed and dried; third is washed, dried, and ironed. I must note that the steam function on my iron doesn’t work. If the third napkin had been steam ironed, it would look much crisper. The fringe was a little strange to iron, but I found that just ironing outward from the center seemed to keep it straight. I’m really pleased with these napkins. They’re going to be used every day in my kitchen.

Nice color and size, but unfortunately the linen fabric has a rough hewn and has scratchy texture. They are not effectively absorbent.
