These Turkish Towels I imported straight from Istanbul, Turkey. Turkish towels are made with a long grain cotton that is native to the area. The long grain cotton makes them super absorbent and they dry out quickly. A couple things I love about them is that they repel sand and dirt and they roll up nicely and are not as bulky as a Terry Beach towel. So they will pack well for a beach trip or be great on the boat for the lake.
You want to refrain from using fabric softener on these it will take away from it's super absorbency and they get softer with every wash.
