Small Flour Sack Towels, Cloth Napkins, 12"x12", 100% Cotton, Set of 48
The Cocktail Napkin Size. In the Quantity That Actually Makes Sense.
At 12×12 inches, these are the classic cocktail and luncheon napkin size — compact enough for drinks and appetizers, tidy enough for kids' meals, and small enough to stitch, stamp, or dye as a craft blank. At a set of 48, you have enough for a full dinner party, a cocktail hour, a week of family meals, or a serious craft run — without reordering halfway through.
Same 130 thread count diagonal weave as the rest of the lineup. Same 4-side hem, same lint-free cotton, same pre-washed construction. Just the right size for everything a larger napkin is overkill for.

What You Get
Picking the Right Size
All three share the same 130 TC cotton and 4-side hem. The difference is what you use them for.
Small Size. A Lot of Uses.
Pre-Hemmed. Consistent Size. No Cutting Required.
One of the recurring uses customers find for the 12×12 is as a ready-to-use craft square — for quilt blocks, embroidery, dyeing, and fabric art. The appeal is practical: pre-washed cotton with finished edges on all four sides, in a consistent square format, available in quantities large enough for a full project.
The 130 thread count diagonal weave takes embroidery thread, fabric paint, and dye cleanly. White is the best base for color work — it reads true without competing with ink or thread color. A set of 48 gives you enough to work a full quilt block pattern, run a dye class, or build a gift set without reordering mid-project.
Simple Care, Built to Last
Pre-washed and pre-shrunk — the 12×12 size is the finished measurement. Gets more absorbent with every wash.
Common Questions
Is 12×12 the right size for cocktail napkins?
Yes — 12×12 is the standard cocktail and luncheon napkin size used in hospitality and event settings. It's compact enough to hold alongside a drink glass, large enough to handle appetizers, desserts, and light bites. For full dinner service, the 19×19 napkin is the better choice.
Can these be used as quilt squares or embroidery blanks?
Yes — and they're popular for exactly this. The pre-hemmed edges mean no cutting or finishing required. The 130 thread count weave takes embroidery thread and fabric dye cleanly, and the 12×12 size fits easily in a standard 4×4 embroidery hoop. For quilt projects, the consistent sizing across a set of 48 means your blocks stay even without extra trimming. Several customers have specifically mentioned using these for quilting class projects and wedding gift embroidery sets.
Why 48? Is that too many?
Most cloth napkin sets sell in packs of 6–16, which runs out quickly for anything beyond a small dinner. A set of 48 means you can stock a full cocktail hour, run a week of family meals without mid-week laundry, or start a craft project without reordering halfway through. For households replacing paper napkins entirely, 48 is the practical quantity — enough rotation that you're never short.
Are these good for kids?
Yes — the 12×12 is a natural kids' napkin size. Small enough for lunch boxes and smaller hands, soft enough for daily use, and machine washable with normal laundry. The 48-count means you're unlikely to run out even with a heavy use schedule. Cotton is also free of the synthetic coatings sometimes found in decorative napkins.
Are these pre-washed? Do they need washing before use?
Yes — every napkin is pre-washed and pre-shrunk. Use them straight from the bag. For craft use, pre-washing also means finishing agents are already removed — dye, fabric paint, and embroidery ink adhere directly without any prep wash. Minor size variation of ±0.5 inch is normal for cotton napkins after pre-washing, as the fabric relaxes during the process.
Do you sell larger quantities for events or businesses?
Yes — for orders of 120 or more, our wholesale blank collection offers volume discounts with no account required. Pricing adjusts at checkout based on quantity.
