As holiday entertaining looms, it's time to revisit MyDrap napkins (when we first wrote about the innovative tear-off 100-percent-cotton, reusable, biodegradable napkins, they were only available in Europe). Now several US online retailers carry them, as well as Amazon.

Above: MYdrap Dinner Napkins on a Roll; $22.24 for a roll of 12 at Amazon. They tear off easily (no frayed edges) and are sturdy enough to last through multiple uses.
