Are these ever made out of anything except 100% linen?

oH Yes flour sacks, I love them....I embroider lovely pictures and color them with crayons and hang them up...Wonderful to look out and know you made them.
There is a trick to the coloring part..I am just getting that down prefectly..I got the tip from Candismom's Tea Towel site...
