HarringdonsPremium Tea Towels for Kitchen – 12-Pack 100% Natural Cotton Dish Towels, Quick Drying, Ultra Absorbent, Bleach Safe, 50x70 cm (Assorted Colours)

My first impressions of these towels was very positive. They are much larger than most store-bought towels and feel tightly woven, with well finished seams on all 4 sides. There is also a cotton hanging loop in the corner, which is sewn into the towel.After the first wash these towels dried very quickly on a screen overnight and were dry ironed to ensure they were bone-dry before storage. I would recommend cutting off the care labels prior to ironing, as they are synthetic and melt very quickly (also took off a few loose threads) but after this small annoyance I soon had a stack of pristine crisp linens ready for use.The towels dry washed dishes and glasses admirably, leaving them streak free and gleaming without any of horrible fluffy lint or fibres. With a dozen I can keep fresh towels in constant rotation without worrying about running out.I have previously tried the ruinously expensive microfibre tea towels from a well known homewares shop and these Harrison's towels absolutely blow them out of the water, there is no comparison, and no more worries about tea towels melting if a lazy partner decides to use one to fetch a hot dish from the oven.Finally, the company's customer service seems very good, with detailed dispatch and email aftercare. Highly recommended.

These were pricier than other tea towels I've bought online but they are also the best.They're soft and absorbent & wash beautifully despite the fact that I wash them at the hottest temperature my machine can do which is 90° (in contravention of the instructions). The colours haven't run. I haven't detected any significant shrinkage, though I didn't measure before & after, they are still bigger than any of my old tea towels. They remain rectangular after washing, ie the hems don't pucker up, needing to be stretched out back into shape or flattened out because they've rolled themselves up (my pet hate).They dry the dishes extremely well without leaving lint behind. Once wet, they dry out far quicker than terry toweling ones but a bit slower than the thinner ones I've bought in the past.Oh, and they look great too, I bought the green ones and really like them. I'd have no hesitation in buying them again.

These have to be the best quality and value tea towels EVER.Not realising they would be arriving yesterday (and having just re organised cupboards and must have everything JUST so)I had been and bought some more new ones locally.The ones I bought were nice but these extra large ones areAbsolutely superb.The fabric is luxurious and I feel will be super absorbent.Size wise: whilst I have bought some oven cloths (like I used toUse as a caterer) I feel these would also be useful as oven clothsFolded four times. They are really lovely.I know! I'm getting excited over tea towels but they are reallynice.Value for money: considering I paid £4 locally for three, whichincluded one dreadful waffle type. These really are great value.I've not washed any yet but as they are cotton linen, they feelthey will wash really well as well.Being the rather anal person I am , I will be buying more of these. 🤷‍♀️

Quality in a box. Fast delivery beautifully packed. Ok maybe not as crisp as I expected but then they also not stiff with starch. Decent size and wash well with the expected and acceptable minimal shrinkage. Nice bright white with nice detailing in the colour bands and an extremely handy tape loop to allow them to hang for better drying. They polished off a full blown family sunday lunch drying everything fully from start to finish without ending up soggy. Even had enough punch left to give an extra polish to the glassware! Going to order another set for holiday home, dont want to be without these now. 4* because although a very good towel for the price I have to be honest and admit they are a tad thinner than I would have liked, but they do the job for which intended so no complaints there.

These are the best dish towels I have bought in years having tried numerous different types these are superb . They do exactly as the say the dry dishes and dry them well with a wipe . Highly recommended.

I have tried many tea towels over the year's and burnt my finger's many times, however, these tea towels are perfect.. soft to touch, strong to last, they are a really good size and so far great for everything I have used them for..Getting dishes out of oven..Straining pan's at sink..Keeping fresh baked items covered..Hanging over my shoulder to dry hands whilst preparing food..Drying my pot's & pan's..Great product! Great choice!

I am delighted with these tea towels - they are very absorbent, are a good size, and do not leave lint on my glasses. They are of a really good quality and are great value for money. They are really well made and wash really well. They are stylishly designed, being plain coloured, sparkling white, with stylish stripes at the edges. I would definitely recommend these.

The towels are a nice quality! Definitely a step above flour sack towels.

These are wonderful, large, old-fashioned tea towels like those my mother used to use. Nowadays most of the towels on the market are too small, too thin, and look good without doing the job. These towels are substantial. They wash well with very little shrinkage. So far, I've used them to dry dishes, but can see them as attractive covers for baked goods. Before buying the towels, I looked them up on review sites and found that they always came out on top of similar products. The reviews didn't lie. I doubt that I'll have to replace them any time in the future - they are of an exceptional and durable quality.

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.

Towels arrived on specified time, package was in good shape. Towels are good quality which is important to me as I plan on embroidering on them for gifts. Will most definitely order these towels again.

Great quality, tight weave and low lint! Beautiful colours, size is substantial! Worth the $$.
