dryingThey are extremely soft. I did wash them and although they feel wonderful, when you are wet there remains bits of the towels. We will see how they fare after several washings.Definitely soft and thick; It just doesn't absorb the moisture as I was expecting. Handles more like a microfiber material than cotton.Great towels! I have had more absorbent towels but this are large towels and very soft even after multiple washesThese are beautiful. Have not used them yet. Washed them and they fluffed up so soft and silky. Bought them for our new motor home. They are nicer than my regular home towels. The quantity was just what I needed. Four bath towels, two hand towels and two wash cloths. I would definitely buy them again.looked good at first. bigger than I expected. will see if washing gives same problems as others got.I specifically purchased white towels to have the ability to wash them with bleach. On delivery of the towels, the instructions state "NO BLEACH" and this information would've been helpful in the description, yes? Other than that, I cannot complain about the purchase so far only having washed them once.Thick soft color is very light but great other than that
