I should have known that the tissues are of poor quality due to the low price. These handkerchiefs MUST be ironed before they can be used. I bought these for my grandson because he is crazy about fabrics and I wanted to give him an eco-friendly alternative. I washed them 3 times to soften them and tumble dried them once. They look like a bunch of used handkerchiefs and will not fold when delivered from the dryer. Don't buy them if you don't like ironing.
