Fabric Definition
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is applied to make a lot of of the most eminent quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to construct a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better capable it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn may be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but may reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which spotlight construction of Egyptian cotton are normally referring to the extra-long-staple cotton devised for the most part in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta manufacture exceptionally long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, lasting and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.

The uttermost book reviewing tool
By Susan Tunis
As a prolific book reviewer here on Amazon, it’s a bit of a departure for me to be reviewing bath towels. What you may not realize is that the towels are an necessary book reviewing tool… I read the books in my bathtub. Now you know.

All joking aside, I have to confess that I was very pleased with the quality of the Pike Street towel set. The list price of $130 is absurd, but for $24.95 they’re a bargain. The towels are soft and reasonably plush. As others have said, they’re not luxuriousness towels, but are of a good quality for every day use, and are much better than what you’d see in an intermediate hotel room. My set are the cream color, and they’re a rich, French vanilla of a cream.

So far they’ve kept up superbly to laundering. And my set did not have any hanging threads that others have complained of. However, my bestloved thing with regards to these towels is that they genuinely are generously sized. It makes a difference. I normally buy bath sheets rather than regulation bath towels for my home use, but these bath towels are big sufficient to wrap myself up in comfortably. Even the wash cloths and hand towels are more prominent than you’d distinctively expect, which just gives the towels extra absorbency and utility. For instance, a folded hand towel makes an splendid pillow when reclined in the tub with a best-seller.

great towels.
By mlle. x
I deliberately waited a while in order to write this review. I wanted to see how the towels would hold up over a few washings, how I’d feel when it comes to them after they’d been subjected to regular use. I’m pleased – and a little astonished – to say that I like them better a month down the line than I did when I primary received them. I find myself more, rather than less, likely to reach for one of them rather of my old favorites.

When the towels were new, I was unsure when it comes to two things: they had a kind of amusive smell, firstborn of all, a new product smell that didn’t tickle my nose the right way. That went away exclusively after the original washing. Now they smell nice and fresh and like detergent, like towels should. The other thing was the color. The picture doesn’t genuinely capture how bright the green is – it’s called pistachio but if I’d been on the naming committee I might have gone with something more like “moss” or “lichen.” The green is a little more bright than what I see on my monitor (monitors vary, so don’t take this as a given)- the stock photo is more pastel than the towels themselves (I’m keeping one in front of me). I think the color is a pretty bright one – not so pastel, after all – an acid, spring green with a strong yellow undertone. It’s a color that pops, rather than fades. So the color wasn’t rather what I expected, but I’ve grown to love it anyway. It’s distinct, complex, and delighting to the eye.

They provide what I’d call a “brisk” toweling experience. I don’t mean that as a euphamism; it’s not a criticism at all. I’ve noticed that towels come in two distinct types. There are towels that are “plush” and others that are “brisk,” and higher and lower quality examples of each. I find it a little odd to arid off with a plush towel – it’s like rubbing myself with a huge velvet blanket, which doesn’t feel right to me, specially in the morning. So I like a good brisk towel. These are soft, well-made, but they provide sufficient friction that drying off feels brisk and energizing.

I’d unquestionably buy this brand again, and do commend it to others.

Towels is as Towels does…
By Jarucia Jaycox Nirula
With lot’s of guests visiting, I was eager to get a new set of towels.

While I was pleased with the size of the bath towels, the hand towels are HUGE as are the washcloths. The hand towels hung stupidly on my wall racks.

I didn’t believe another reviewer when they said the towels snagged within the initial three washes until I received and washed these towels. Sure enough, one of the bath towels came from the dryer with a long thread hanging off the middle. I have front-open machines, so it’s highly improbable they snagged on the equipment.

That said, they are soft and it doesn’t appear the ornamental trim is shrinking in the dryer as a good deal of of my other towels do.

Overall, a good towel set for a very decent price given the quality of the material.

UPDATE: After three more cycles of house guests and uneven use of these towels, I find that the more many times applied ones are fading in color rather quickly. I’m rather astonished given how light they were to start out with, but it’s noticeable.
