Here are some tips for folding muslin hand towels to minimize wrinkles:
Start with freshly laundered towels
Make sure they are completely dried before folding.
Lay flat and press out any creases
An iron on the reverse side will smooth the fabric.
Fold in thirds lengthwise
Fold one edge to the middle, then the other edge over to form a long rectangle.
Fold again widthwise
Fold the towel in half to form a long, thin rectangle shape.
Roll tightly
Begin at one short edge and roll the towel into a cylinder shape. This reduces bulk and wrinkles.
Place in basket or stack
Rolled towels take up less space than folded and won’t bunch up.
Consider folding instead of rolling
Simple origami-style folds results in a neat, flat shape for storage in cabinets.
Avoid wrinkle-causing situations
Don’t stuff towels or let them sit crumbled for long periods.
Fluff before using
Shaking out towels restores their soft texture before next use.
Proper rolling or folding right out of the dryer ensures muslin towels stay wrinkle-free for their aesthetic and absorbency.
