"We received two sets of these towels as a wedding gift. We have since stopped using all our other dishtowels because these ones are so very soft and far more absorbent than any dishtowels I've had before. We've had a lot of houseguests since our wedding, and have dried many dishes--the towels are holding up great. I put them on our registry because they were organic cotton, and had no idea they would be this great! The only downside to C&B's organic cotton listings, so far as I can tell, is that they don't carry any with cute patterns or fun colors. For sheets and towels, plain white would be totally boring. But for dishtowels, I'm completely satisfied. Enjoy!"
