Jean, FWIW, TJ's in the USA doesn't have those towels anymore either. Mine are wearing out and I'm not sure where I'll replace them. |

I, too, am a dish towel junkie and yet I still don't have any that I think absorb very well. Microfiber, 100% cotton, bar towels, paper towels; they all leave something lacking. I keep two in the kitchen, one for my hands and one mostly for counters and I change them often. It seems like for those purposes the microfiber works best. I don't often dry dishes with these.

Thanks Fuzzy - I was hesitating as we are planning a USA visit in the next few weeks so glad I got them. The store is Home Outfitters and only the location near me is closing. I think it's this brand (the Bay owns HO) but will check tonight, price is the same. http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores ... 6-9765--24 If this is what you want let me know as I can get them and mail when we are south. |

Cantina is the brand name on mine, from what I see on the Dophes website this is a product line for them. I have to wash them and try them still and will report back. |

Jean, Thank you! However, as we gradually prepare for our move, I'm trying not to buy durable goods, even if that means we have to "make do" for a while. Where in the USA are you going? |

Move? Where to? We are up in the air. Originally going to do a NY stop (my brother and assorted relatives) then a couple of days on the shore then DC. But our dollar is not great right now and adding 35% to summer prices is making me think twice. We can do a decent all inclusive in the Caribbean for the cost of 1 week of schlepping from hotel to hotel. Or even a week at Disney. Latest plan is to just drive to Boston and NY to visit elderly relatives then have a few days to relax at home with the kids. So, east coast but no idea of where! |

Jean, Portland is 90% likely. I like SF a lot, but it's become very expensive, and very corrupt. I'd also like somewhere I an afford to devote more time to pottery and cooking instead of doing software work 60 hours a week. |
