I do not know why but it is so hard to find 100% cotton anything these days! I want a towel that is going to absorb,  all while looking beautiful when hanging to dry. You can not beat the price of these! if you are as picky as I am come shower time you will definitely want multiple sets of these! Many different colors. Treat yourself and your family, and even if you don`t like them which I doubt, you can gift them out for the price. Or, you can send them back Wayfair`s customer service is the best bar none!!
