Practical selection for co-ordinated kitchen! Soft & absorbent!
Since my family hasn't chosen a color scheme for the kitchen and adjoining dining room of our new residence, I chose this neutral color of tan (titled "linen" by the manufacturer) for our kitchen towels. I ordered six sets so we could use the old ones as cleaning rags. Admittedly, they're not that raggedy, but they're not color-co-ordinated so ... what the heck!

For the kitchen decor we're thinking of a light yellow with a complementary shade of green ... or perhaps blue. But meanwhile, since these "linen-colored" towels will blend well with almost every shade, we can't go wrong. They also come in other aesthetic colors, any of which I would have chosen if we had already selected our decor.

I chose this set because it has five towels for the same price as others that have only two, and they're attractive in a soft, elegant way: coming in assorted patterns of gingham, plaid, houndstooth, and two striped (refer to the above photo). Since these towels are 100-percent cotton, they're extra absorbent and machine washable. In addition to those practical features, they're the 18x28" size that I've always preferred.

The manufacturer warns that some shrinkage may occur, but I found that to be minimal to non-existent, and was pleased that these towels kept their shape so well.

I got a big LOL from the manufacturer saying that by having various patterns, drying dishes would never get boring. That's a bunch of nonsense, and has nothing to do with boredom. Although my reward in drying is the satisfaction in keeping one's home running smoothly, the only time I'm not bored with that job is when a sociable family member (or friend) washes while I dry. It's the companionship and friendly banter that makes an everyday, ordinary household chore fun.

Would anyone like to come over and wash dishes while I dry? Or I'll wash, if you prefer. I guarantee that neither of us will be bored.

Doesn't do the job
I found these nearly worthless for drying dishes. They are not absorbent enough. I gave these two stars only because you can use them for something besides dishes, and because one towel in the set is a thick, loose weave that actually absorbs water.

Great looking and nice to embroider on
These look very nice, expensive, and feel nice. I embroidered on them for gifts and they came out beautifully. (you can see the embroidered towels on my personal site [...]
UPDATE: I've since ordered several of the other brands in the same price range and they can't compare to these. For the price, it's a very good value and I plan on purchasing other colors as well as more of these. I should have given them FIVE stars!
