I first ordered these 5 years ago—red stripe. I’ve used the heck out of them and they still look great. They do shrink but they start out so big that it doesn’t matter. After shrinking, they are the perfect size to me. I just ordered more in the tan stripe and the black stripe. Definitely giftable. Some say these are not absorbent. I totally disagree. Perhaps those people add fabric softener to their towels? If so, that’s the problem. Don’t do that. Kills absorbency even in bath towels. Read more

These are well made, thick and tightly woven. There is a ribbon in one corner for hanging. Love these towels. They don’t shrink or become misshapen even with multiple washings. Read more

A little smaller than most dish towels. I like them though. Good feel. Read more

I measured these before/after laundering and they do suffer a great deal of shrinkage, but it's the exact shrinkage my old WS towels. The measurement of my old WS towels are 19"x 27" and that's the exact measurements of my new less expensive and just as good Cotton Craft towels. Some people mentioned that they seemed a bit thin. After laundering and shrinkage, the towel becomes thicker and more absorbent. I always wash my dishtowels in hot water and never use fabric softener. Fabric softener makes all towels less absorbent, including bath towels. Read more

These are great! I’m super fussy with kitchen towels and haven’t found good ones in years. These are thick and absorbent and they wash up very nicely—no shrinking or wrinkles. They’re also a fantastic size, and a great value sine the pack contains a dozen. I’ve never had the luxury of owning so many good towels at once! Because they’re such good quality, I suspect they’ll also get even more absorbent as they get used. Note: I prefer to bleach the crap out of my kitchen towels and so I’m fully prepared to accept any damage as a trade-off for knowing they are sanitized. With these, using excessive bleach was fine because the grey stripe changed to a lovely light caramel, and did it so very evenly that they look like they were actually manufactured in that colour. Quite stylish. Read more
