Homestead Textiles Growers Collection 100-Percent Zero-Twist Pima Cotton 6-Piece Bath Towel Set, Latte

I think that these towels must be coated in silicone and/or fabric softener: they feel soft but they don't absorb water, which is kind of the whole point of a towel.Before using them, I washed them following the instructions for water & dryer temperature. When they didn't absorb a drop of water in use, I washed them again with vinegar, which is supposed to help strip off coatings that make towels feel soft but reduce their absorption abilities. At this point I've washed them 6 times with no real increase in absorbency. You get out of the shower, rub yourself with the towel, and feel just as soaking wet. It's weird.They're basically unusable.

First set fell apart upon initial wash/dry. Replacement set never became absorbent. Washed several times using vinegar and then baking soda as suggested, but these towels just smear water around on one's skin. Before these, I've bought cheap towels at Wal-Mart; they were always absorbent. They weren't as soft as these towels; but I have no use for towels that won't absorb water. Heck, they're not even useful as rags.Well, after 4th wash in baking soda, they've finally become absorbent. Stiff soft. But more than just lint is still showing up in the dryer, but it seems to be lessening as well. So I'd say these are OK / 3 stars.

They are beautiful, and really big and fluffy. I wish I could get more of the washcloths, separately. But I will survive and keep checking, maybe they will become available later date. The reason I bought these was because I was trying to buy towels " made in America". Can't find them, but I did find the Calcot cotton, grown in America, but they are still not made in America.

This was a gift for my wife at Christmas. She loved the texture of the towels right away and that is a great sign.I rarely hit it right on gifts but this time she could not wait to wash them and hang them up. the color, FYI the color in the pictures is not exactly what you may expect when you receive it , but no doubt it was a success anyway.I appreciate my shopping experience with this vendor and Amazon.

I looked all over the internet, at many reviews, and many towels. I settled on these, as being a good price, a nice fluffy towel.But one of the hand towels has a frayed edge after 3 washings. I have read that frayed edges happen at all grades and prices.Most of my 10+ year old towels do not have frayed edges. I guess they don't make them like they used to.These towels are a nice weight, absorbent after the reviewer recommended vinegar wash. I like them. I just wish that the handtowel would have stayed intact longer. After years of reading reviews, this is my first post.

Reading Amazon's reviews of towels helped me realize I needed to wash new towels with vinegar to make them soft and absorbent. That worked great, and now I have amazingly soft, absorbent, and beautiful towels for my new bathroom. They are also well-made--I'll order more soonest.

I purchased two sets of these towels (in red, and green). The color and feel are fine, but they don't absorb! I have now washed each of them at least six times and there's some improvement - but I wouldn't order them again. What a disappointment!!

These towels are made with cotton grown in the USA. They are manufactured in Pakistan. The thing that is the most striking to me is that they are quite Nonabsorbent - they simply do not absorb water and allow one to dry themselves off. I would not buy them again.

Terrible quality for a very high price.Received these towels with multiple problems of fraying and bad stitchingI am not impressed
