Also please learn about the importance of DONATING your textile items instead of putting them into the trash!!! The following quote is from the Baystate Textile website:
"Every year, 21 billion pounds of textiles are thrown away in the United States. 45% of these textiles can be reused, 30% can be turned into wiping cloths, and 20% recycled into new products. Turning this problem around can start in your community with recycling bins."
