Highest quality towels I have seen in my 40 years as a homemaker.
These towels are beautiful. They are super absorbent, and leave absolutely no lint on glassware. The colors are bright and pretty, and the quality is exceptional. My Step-Daughter's Grandmother has some of these towels that she says she has had for more than 30 years! I believe it, because she is like me in that she doesn't throw away anything just because it's old. Hers have no holes, the hems are still in perfect condition and they are still as absorbent as mine from what I can tell. I'd used them at her house many times and didn't realize when I ordered my Harringdon Towels that they were the same ones she has until I saw the colors of the stripes. Hers are not quite white anymore, so I am going to suggest she order some Rit Whitening Powder for them. These towels are also nice and big, but fold nicely, or roll as I do to fit in my kitchen drawer. I am so pleased that Harringdons still makes the same quality they did those many years ago.I do suggest washing them alone, or only with other items that have no lint, IOW not terrycloth, as it gets on them and is very difficult to remove. I made that mistake when I first got them by washing them with my new dishcloths and had to brush all of the lint off and use a tape-roller to remove the rest. It was worth it though, as now they are like they are supposed to be and I won't make that mistake again. I highly recommend these for anyone. Quality like this is not easy to find these days, but this company still apparently believes in making their products with the same care they did 30 years ago. Thank You Harringdons.-This next paragraph is an edit, because as I was using them today I thought it a good time to let others know how they've lasted.I bought these towels in 2017. I still use them daily. They are a little stained, because I use them to dry Herbs and Fruit. Funny that the stains are also pretty, being the color of herbs and berries! They are still absorbent, have no holes or hems coming out. Right now they are on sale, so anyone looking should get them now. I'm so glad Amazon still carries them. I use the different colors for different things. I live in the Desert Mountains, so it's very dusty no matter how often I vacuum or dust. I use the Purple to cover my dish drainer & to dry dishes, the Turquoise to drain Herbs & Berries, and to cover dough and cooling cakes etc. I use the Gold to dry my hands and counters. They dry dishes better than any towels I have ever had. They polish while they dry. They are thin enough to dry the inside of nice glasses & hold onto the lid of my large Stu Pan when drying, without dropping it while they easily dry the inside rims. I honestly can not say enough about what a value they are, and how pleased I am for purchasing them in the first place. I bought my Daughters sets as gifts, and I'm glad to say they still use theirs also. None of them have been moved to the rag drawer for use in my Garden.
