Couple of hot washes and dries? I'm going to get some flour sack towels from walmart to use.

did you find yours in the dishtowels section? I keep forgetting to get some to try. I will probably boil mine for 10-15 min then just wash with diaper laundry, it worked for my prefolds.

I haven't actually went to go look yet but the In store finder says they have some.

a couple of washes ought to do fine. be aware that they may not be as absorbent after 2 washes as they will be after 6, so add a doubler or change often

They were pretty easy to find, $5.50 for a pack of five. They are in the aisle with the kitchen towels, mixed in with the bar mop packs. In my store, bottom shelf.

I don't think that I'll have to prep them much either. They are fairly thin (almost thinner than my recieving blankets)
