These potholders met all the criteria for the perfect potholder.  They are comfortable and fit my small hands beautifully.  I washed them prior to using them and let them air dry as per the instructions.  They look wonderful and they match the red and white windowpane kitchen towels I bought at the same time from Wayfair.  I am very satisfied with my purchase and will order more of the same in the near future.  Thanks Wayfair for the quality products.
