## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the edges a selvedge edge, or are they cut, or are they sewn?  My couche is starting to ravel on the cut edges which are not finished.**
A: The edges should always be even. If not, it must be returned

**Q: Where is this made?  Is it machine washable and dryable?  Does it shrink?  Thank you!**
A: It is made in France.  Made from 100% natural linen fiber. It states that it NEVER BE WASHED !!. Just shake it out. Scrape off any stuck on dough abd let air dry completely.

**Q: Why should I get this instead of a banneton?**
A: Bannetons and couches are for different purposes. A banneton is used for a bread form, like a bouley, but the couche is used to help baguettes, ciabatta, et al retain their shape as they proof.

**Q: Can you wash before the couche before the first use?  I would like clean before I start**
A: No; it is not to be washed.  after using, one just shakes it out and air drys it.  if you wash it, you will ruin the characteristics of the cloth serving the purpose for which it was uniquely woven.  Mine is from France and i can speak for that item uniquely.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent fabric and size.
*by  on Reviewed in Canada 13 April 2026*

Wide enough to handle very long Baguettes. 22 inch long if you want. The fabric is thick and plyable enough for professional use. Could not ask for better couche. Long enough to fit 6 to 8 full-size Baguettes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good couche
*by  on Reviewed in Australia 16 June 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible. A real case of you get what you pay for.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 11 April 2026*

I had one of these couches which i purchased 40 years ago from a kitchen store that no longer exists. Ir was much smaller, thinner and I think it was cotton. But it worked well for about 15 years or so. I loved it to death.This one is so superior.The fabric is much much thicker.It's huge compared to my old coucheIt's bigger than my Silpat pastry sheet which is no slouch in the size department.It easier to clean than my pastry sheet because you are not supposed to wash it - just keep flouring it.It's big enough to wrap a whole loaf.It's so sturdy, I'm going to leave it to someone in my will.In the meantime, my Christmas gift list just got filled up.
