REVIEW FOR: Butterfly Print 4-PackORDER DATE: 10/9/2024.PAID: $17.59. (This was a brief sale off the Full price of $21.99. Less than a month later, they're at $25!)BEST USE: Decorative use. Lint-free drying of fine or delicate pieces. They'd make fabulous cafe curtains, letting lots of light through but providing privacy.SUMMARY: This is a top notch 5-Star product, where price is my only quibble. I have not washed them yet, but I expect fine results, unlike cheaper options which can lose their shape, and refuse to fold "squarely". They are even thinner than the other printed Urban Villa tea towels in 6-packs. I considered removing one star for the high price for ONLY FOUR TEA TOWELS, but the price is not completely out of line for this quality, with details like mitered corners, and a very fine, smooth tightly woven fabric.I waited weeks for this item to go on sale. I still wasn't particularly happy to pay over $17 for four, but I found these to have a unique charm, and therefore worth it. Had they been cheaper, I would have purchased more.I purchased this set entirely for the CHARMING RETRO FLORAL PRINT. I'll keep two, because I love beautiful tea towels. I'll give two to my mom, who decorates with (but never uses, haha) her pretty tea towels.HIGHLIGHTS:- LOVELY SIMPLE FLORAL print that's a little retro, reminds you of your grandmother's kitchen. They call this print 'Butterfly', but *Floral* is the impression it makes from any distance.- EXTREMELY THIN, BUT QUALITY fabric. The towels in this 4-pack are thinner than the other thin printed towels (in 6-packs) on this Urban Villa page, eg, the Tulips, which themselves are much thinner than the "woven" striped towels (where you can see the colored threads of the stripes on both sides of the towels). These are not "flour sack" towels, which have a particular look and feel, but they seem about that thin. They would provide lint-free drying of fine or fragile things. They would be gorgeous converted to kitchen cafe curtains.- MITERED CORNERS convey their "premium" quality. (Notice the angled seam at the corner in my photo of the hanging loop.)- "SELF" FABRIC LOOP for hanging, rather than a strip of cotton webbing that some other Urban Villa printed towels have. Nicely done.- TIGHT WEAVE: These are very tightly woven with fine thread giving these towels a smooth soft finish and rendering a remarkably strong fabric.- LIMITATIONS: There's really no cushioning and extremely limited absorbency, because of how thin the fabric is. For example, I wouldn't lay this on a granite countertop and set my wineglasses upside-down to dry, because I'd want more cushioning simply to place them down.

These are the most fantastic towels. I have purchased two sets. They are beautiful and absorbent. They did not shrink or loose shape. The colors have remained vibrant

My absolute favorite cotton dish towels! Don’t be fooled by the copies, THESE are the ones that don’t shrink up and last. This is my 2nd purchase and the only towels I will use. Many others that look the same shrink and are thinner. These ones are worth the price and hold a lot of moisture.

Howdy y'all,They look good from the front, but the colors are definitely on the front. The back side is quite pale in comparison.They are nicely absorbant on both sides.Take care,RLD

Perfect! Just as described, good thickness for kitchen towels. They dry quickly and do not feel scratchy at all. They really pop with our teal cabinets! Love them would buy again.

We abuse our kitchen towels, from foot mopping to car washing. :) They are washed in hot water and dried on high heat. I bought this style two years ago and then again a few days ago and had to post a review. The ones in the pile on the left are new. The only way I can tell the difference is the old ones are softer and a bit stained. Despite much abuse they have hardly faded at all. I am impressed. These are VERY good quality towels. This time I also bought a different style from the same brand (2nd pic) that were a few dollars cheaper. They are stiffer and I'm skeptical these will be as good. Time will tell.

Nicely made, but fades first time washed.

Beautiful colors and they do the job well.
