(7) Profile Contact I'm sitting here laughing because I almost answered "just leave them out on the counter for a couple of days and they will soften"...until I re-read your question and realized you wanted soft bandanas and not soft bananas...I've always known I was dyslexic!

Never see white, mostly country colors. Posted on 07/01/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Finding Soft Bandanas By Ann S (29) Profile Blog! Contact I just checked the price of mens handkerchiefs on google and I am amazed at how expensive they are. In Ireland you can buy a 3 pack of 100% cotton handkerchiefs for about 5Euros, thats about $7. (Some are even monogrammed). So if you know anyone travelling to Ireland or the UK this summer be sure to ask them to buy you some, you can buy them in any department store. I remember as a child there was always the 'hankie pot' in our house for boiling all the hankies, everyone used them.

My Girls used them as head scarves. However, if yours are too stiff, you might try a very old fashioned laundry method - boiling them. Yes, boiling them. In a pot on the stove, heat up a pot of water to boiling, carefully add the bandands, let boil for say 10 mins, turn off the stove element. Leave for an hour until the pot is safe to remove from the stove, then remove the bandanas from the pot, launder as normal. The boiling should have softened the fabric significantly. NOTE: Boiling is NOT for synthetic fabrics of any kind. COTTON ONLY. This method is used for whitening whites, sanitizing and stain removal for cotton diapers/white clothing. Good Luck.

Egyptian and USA Supima cotton are the best cottons, but they make costly bandanas. Fendi bandanas are $14 a pop. Try this link: http://www.tansclub.com/paba.html At least the one on top is 100% cotton, and they seem to know something about bandanas. I would chat them up. Ask if they have sizing on theirs--you don't want it. Posted on 06/28/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Finding Soft Bandanas By Cyinda (1317) Profile Contact Sounds like you have tried ALL the tricks! Either the manufacturers are using an extremely course type of cotton (& I don't think that's even possible) or they are adding some kind of nasty sizing to these... OR, they are marked WRONG & are really not 100% cotton, but are polyester, or a poly blend instead! Here are some good sites online for buying SOFT BANDANAS: * these look like high quality bandanas: http://www.amazon.com/Trainmen-Band ... O/ref=pd_sim_a_2/103-8979406-8721406 Look at the bottom for the page gore more options. * I bet these bandanas are really soft, as they are sold for cancer patients who have lost their hair: http://www.headcovers.com/moreinfo.php?id=593 * these look like cheep, lower quality bandanas: http://www.bcheap.com/bandanas.html ---> Before you purchase them, ask if you can return them if they don't wash up soft. This way, maybe they'll be honest & let you know the brands that are softest. Posted on 06/28/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Finding Soft Bandanas By Designersheets (99) Blog! Contact Even though something is 100% cotton it can still be rough. For a softer "hanky" you may want to consider buying a higher grade one like from a department store - sears, jc pennys, or a suit store. Or you can make them your self. Buy a nice egyptian cotton with a high thread count flat bed sheet - a twin size will work. and cut and hem to the correct size. or for a cheaper version use one of your own older bed sheets that has softened up and cut it down. Good luck Posted on 06/28/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
