I use them for many things. They have a life cycle at my house. First as dish towels, then they go on to be used for cleaning around the house, then they go to the barn and tack box to be used at the barn with my horses and at horse shows. They ae used by others at the shows too. If they "live" longer than that and make it home they are used until they are thread bare or have holes and that that point they go into the trash. I live in SW WA too If you would like to find a home for them, I could take them off your hands. I have two more horse shows this season. One of which is in Las Vegas... They would be well traveled LOL
Bath towels have a similar life cycle too
