I've been using the linen/cotton blend hand towel in the kitchen for 7 months now and it's my favorite kitchen towel! Still holding up well and looks like new. It shrunk a tiny bit the first time washed, which is typical for me as I wash on hot and hang to dry. Perhaps half to one inch loss on each side?

I love the linen/cotton combination and really like that these towels are not too thick - these two factors make them super absorbent. Agree that the colors are drab. Need more options! We have had them for about 4 months and one of the hand towels has a shredded area, like the other person said. Not happy about that. Really don't think we did anything to cause the damage.

perfect balance between softness and drying, not too thick, not too thin. Colors are a little drab and limited

These are super thin. Not what I would expect from a bath towel.
