What the best, softest fabric that you have found for hankies? Where? Cost? What is your favorite size?

I love using hankies. Even my DH is carrying them now. I am always on the lookout for the fabric.

The vintage hankies are still my favorite because they are so soft!

Glad I came across this thread this morning, I've been wanting to make some more hankies! They are amazing for kids noses, well and for us big people too! Plus they are washable and kids like to shred kleenex if they happen to find the box. :)

I've bought mine and made mine. I like making them outta cotton and adding a bit of lace trim to them. You can also sometimes get linen fabric at JoAnns.

Nothing beats vintage. :) I suppose really fine Egyptian cotton would work nicely. Maybe you could get a sheet made of it at a linens store that you could cut up for lots of hankies.

I would think a nice good quality bleached muslin would work.

I don't know about buying fabric and making them yourself, but I find nice ones at antique stores (at good prices too).
