I love big heavy-weight cotton dish towels. Yet, most of the stuff I can find locally is either flimsy or ugly. Can anyone recommend a good towel? Amy |

I think the big Swiss waffle weave towels are great. Not sure if this is what you mean but I am coming to the US in June and can mail you some if you want. Mary |

I like the waffle weave towels from WS, I know they're overpriced, but haven't found any I like as well for any less. Also like the old-fashioned flour sack towels, but they're hard to find. Too many are a cotton blend and I hate those. |

Amy, TJ's used to have halfway decent woven cotton dish towels. Don't know if they still do. I agree that the waffle-weave towels are nice. Terrycloth, on the other hand, does a poor job on dishes. Flour sacking and linen towels are superior, but they now are $$$$. |

TJ's now has the Sham-Wow (tm), only, you know, with the TJ's logo and in lots of different colors. |

Sam's & Costco have the floursack towels that I love. Pretty cheap, too. Not too keen on the waffle weave towels. I also love the linen towels but they're so pricey. They last for years though. fitzie |

There are no TJs, Sam's or Costco anywhere near us, but I'm heading east in about a month and will have access to both TJs and Costco. I'll check out both of them. Mary, I'd love some Swiss waffle weave towels! Amy |

Does anyone have experience with bamboo towels? Amy |

I guess the end use should guide the purchase. I dry a lot dishes by hand so the cheap sacking towels are the ones I use daily as I think they do the best job for that. I keep cotten hand towels in the kitchen to dry my hands. No experience with bamboo towels at all. fitzie |
