Measuring approximately 8-1/2" x 8-1/2", these potholders contain a special lining that reflects heat back to its source to avoid heat transfer. These items were made by me in my smoke free, pet free work room. All materials have been prewashed and dried. Other items made in this fabric are available, such as: tie on kitchen towels, mixer covers and toaster covers. Please look through my listings or send me a note for more information.
