The napkins are indeed a bit more expensive as 'normal' paper napkins, but just for special occasions is worth the extra price. You feel almost like cloth napkins on, are beautifully appointed and they are also very good for Napkin folding. My wife makes as a hobby - who wants to see these times napkins "in action" needs to YouTube looking only times for "wrinkles with Yvonne". She has since used for several Faltvideos.
