Simple Soft Cotton Waffle Towels

I always love everything from Food52 but I was disappointed in this towel. It is so pretty but is not absorbent and not soft enough to be a great towel unfortunately.

I have purchased many things from Food52 and have been very happy with most of my purchases, but not this time. These are the worst towels I have ever owned. They are very thin, scratchy and they actually feel cold against your skin. It’s like drying yourself off with a huge, cold paper towel. I have thought about giving them away but who would want them? Maybe I’ll donate them to an animal shelter. Also they are oddly shaped (very long and narrow) and they were very expensive.

Love these so much, I purchased them in 3 colors! They are thin enough to dry every crevice on your body which is a problem with thick, heavy weight towels. The waffle weave provides a loofa effect when drying your body and they dry very quickly. Such fun colors! My only complaint is the gigantic size of the Hand Towels. Much much too large. They could actually be cut in half, and still be the perfect size. However, I do love these and am enjoying the great colors.
