7" x 9" lined with heat resistant padding serves double duty as a trivet soft & inviting 100% cotton no ironing required color-fast dyes allow for ease of machine-washing and drying softens with age, but holds shape for many years of gracious living I have a friend who doesn't cook but will give her potholder drawer a drive by just to see her pretty Hen House colors. Treat yourself and it might just inspire you to treat others!
