Without warning, our terry supplier changed up our fabric smack dab in the middle of high season. So we did what any small business owner would do and polished off the better part of a bottle of Merlot, selected another fabric, and got to sewing. We must say we love the new stuff! Everything is still 100% cotton and we still have teal, our #1 selling color! Please let us know if you have comments or questions.

The Skinny Towel & Washcloth Co. is sad to announce that Martin O’Donnell, husband, partner and pal, passed away. He had Alzheimer’s disease and will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
May 23, 2017
And the good news is that Martin O’Donnell, aka Mr. Skinny, became a U.S. citizen on Tuesday, May 23, 2017. Here he is being congratulated by his wife, Michelle, aka Mrs. Skinny, and USCIS Officer Neil Freeman of the Bedford, NH office. A special thanks to USCIS and to Merriman House which quickly turned the resident dining room into U.S. Party Central, complete with American flags and two fabulous red, white and blue cakes by Delectables by Danette of North Conway, NH. The official part of the ceremony concluded with a touching group sing of “America, the Beautiful.” Mr. Skinny was born in bonny Scotland.

Among our company’s Core Values: “Giving Back to the Community. If we make a buck—and believe us, during those tough, early years a buck was about what we were making—a part of that buck will be given back to the community.’’

Thanks to the kids at our local school—Josiah Bartlett 
Elementary in Bartlett, NH—for having a holiday food drive and for reminding us that there is good in this world. Thanks to their teachers and parents for instilling these values, to Jeff Cox and the crew at Hannaford Supermarkets in North Conway for lending a helping hand and to the two employees at JBES for helping us unload the haul, which included 10 turkeys.
made her arms longer, but wait! What if she made the washcloth longer? So she cut up an old towel (left), saw that she finally COULD wash her back and the Skinny Washcloth® was on its way to being born.
We love ourselves some New Hampshire and why not? After all, this is the state that sent Franklin Pierce off to be the 14th President of the United States and where the inventor of Tupperware was born. And it was here that actress Bette Davis had eyes for a New Hampshire fella.
In 2011 we asked a favor of mega-talented illustrator and friend Laura Rankin, author of “Ruthie and the (Not So) Very Busy Day,” “Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny, Tiny Lie” and “Fluffy and Baron.’’ Our request was quite simple: we need a moose bathing with one of our Skinny Washcloths. We also want the moose to look like a “T” so he can double as the T in our company name. And oh, yeah, we don’t want his face shown but he needs to be cute. And not to put any pressure on you, but he will be a big part of the logo and The Skinny Towel & Washcloth Co.’s identity for years to come so he will need to have some staying power.
ourselves a moose to represent our company in true New Hampshire moose style.
