Williams-Sonoma Classic Striped Towels, Set of 4 (Claret)

Nice and large

Williams Sonoma is the best dish towels. I use nothing else. They last a long time

I love these towels. They are very absorbent and strong. Make great bar towels. My only problem has been water stains that cannot be removed. The only thing I use these towels for is to wipe dishes dry after washing with Dawn liquid detergent. The plain, straight tap water used for rinsing has produced very dark, dingy areas on all towels. I'm not sure it's a hard water problem as there have never been any crusty lime deposits or anything like that - just a dark charcoal-like residue. When I have left wet, rinsed silverware in a basket to air dry, a black, charcoal-like powder appears in the bottom of that basket. This is what has embedded itself into my towels, and I have been unable to remove it with several cleaning methods (OxyClean, Bleach, Stain Removers, etc.).Update 1-11-2025The dark dingy areas became so encrusted with whatever is in my tap water that the affected area felt very hard and stiff after laundering - like it was super starched. Eventually, the weave of the cotton in these areas of the towels began to separate farther and farther apart until now there are areas the size of my hand that look like black fishnet.They lasted four years and I still like their performance when new, so I'm ordering another set to replace these.

Size is very good. It is absorbency. It is easy to use.

Only 15 x 15 inches square, very small, not as advertised. How can they get by with these lies. It did not shrink after washing, it was delivered already small. At least they don't shrink in the dryer.

Super large and 100 percent cotton. Just what I was looking for

Best quality kitchen towels!! I love the William Sonoma brand as they wash well and are very absorbent. They are also made of a heavy weight cotton and are a generous size.

I loved these until I developed a hole after one washing. Love the quick drying and absorbency. Very disappointed they don’t last like they should and too late to return
