Very Disappointed in these towels. These towels are on sale and for two sets, I felt the price was fair. However, when I received them, the texture was somewhat rough and I thought after washing them, they would be softer. I was definitely wrong. After washing and drying these towels, they were more rough and stiff than when they arrived. I used them one time and felt as if I was washing with sandpaper and drying with the same sandpaper. There is no use for these except maybe as drop cloths or for the rag barrel for cleaning after painting or for washing and drying the kitchen cabinets and appliances. They are the worst I have bought in the 54 years I've been married, My husband complained too and he rarely is unhappy with items I purchase for our home. If I could, I would give the towel sets no stars. They are that unpleasant, so after one use, they are in the storage bin to use for jobs that require scraping.
