Some of mine were wedding presents 43yrs ago. They are the ones I now use in the kitchen and have been trimmed and bound with bias binding where the edges have worn. Some have been cut short to remove the worn bits!0 -
Wow, thanks for all the replies - lots to mull over there.
I'll give them a blast in the washing machine first, see if I can sort out the colour, then work on from there. Failing that, the possibility of recycling sounds like "fun"

Well, my mum's still using towels that they got as wedding presents when they got married in 1967, 41 years ago!!!!
So, hopefully they'll last you a wee bit longer0
