Love to cook with cast iron? These quilted handle covers easily slip over the skillet handle for easy, safe use to protect your hands. No more oopsies if you forget to grab a hot mat before you grab the hot pan! Leave it on the pan until ready to launder, then remove and throw in with regular wash.

If you're like me, you have various sizes of cast iron skillets in your kitchen... so; here are the two handle cover sizes that work well for me and are available, ready to ship!

The smaller handle cover shown is made specifically for mini skillets. This is a new product I'm offering because it's nice to have a handle cover that isn't so big and gawky on those little pans! For reference, my mini skillet (shown) measures about 6 inches across the pan. Approximate max handle size that will fit is about 1 3/4" wide x 3 1/2" long.

The larger handle cover is shown on my 10 inch skillet. There is ample width to slip over thicker handles if necessary. Approximate usable space inside this larger handle cover is about 2 1/2" wide x 4 1/2" long.

Made with InsulBright thermal batting. Not microwave or oven safe. Not flame proof but can be safely left on the handle while cooking on a stovetop. They will shrink slightly on the first laundering, as the fabrics have never been washed, and then they will relax a bit with use.

This is a wonderful idea for a small kitchen gift, stocking stuffer, hostess gift, etc.

Features

I always use quality fabrics and thread. In addition, I am conscientious about making sure I use a full seam allowance. I never leave fabrics holding together by a few threads. This ensures a quality, handmade item, that will withstand normal care and use for many years.

The inner batting layer is usually Pellon or Hobbs 80/20. Occasionally I use a bamboo batting.

Binding is always double thickness and attached by machine for added durability, with neat mitered corners.

The nice thing about quilts is that the more you use them the softer and more snuggly they become. Don’t be afraid to use them wherever you want to be. After all, we wear cotton fabrics everyday in our clothes… your quilt won’t fall apart before it gets well loved!

Care

I have often washed my own quilts in with a regular wash load, with no regrets. However, it is still recommended to use a gentle cycle, mild soap and tumble drying on low heat. (** Note: I rarely prewash my fabrics. Expect a small amount of shrinkage on the first laundering.) It is the tumble drying that achieves the soft crinkly look that we associate with handmade quilts. If you prefer a flatter look, lay flat to air dry… do not dry in the dryer.

Remember that sunlight will fade any fabric, and your quilt is no exception. So; have a care when you leave it outside frequently or in a sunny window.

Packaging & Shipping

I package all my items responsibly, first with a care for your purchase and then with a desire to reuse and recycle any shipping material I have around.
