  I use cotton for my cloth napkins.  You could do flannel though.  I use kitchen towels and washcloths when I need better absorption.

  Thanks I just cut up and hemmed a couple of old towels to make some more hand towels and wash cloths, but I don't really want to use them for napkins. I think I'll take a trip to Joanns and see what I can find.

  I like cotton for an all-purpose cloth napkin, personally. I wouldn't expect them to pick up any big spills, but we have dish towels for that. Jersey seems too thin to use, but it's worth a try. I would think flannel would pill too much and the fuzzies would stick to your mouth. Also, in my experience, the higher quality cloth napkin you buy, the longer it lasts.

  Oh, one more suggestion: flour sack cloths?

  We have cotton napkins and microfiber car towels to clean up spills. They're great and super absorbent.

  We mainly use flour sack cloths instead of paper towels but I don't think they'd work for napkins (too wrinkly).
