What are these towels made of? Are they really linen?--because they don't look like it in the picture...

Yes these towels really are made from linen and they do a superb job of cleaning (in general) and drying (especially glassware of any kind). Totally lint free, absorbent, and they just work super well.

I found these in a restaurant in Dublin and after returning home to the States tracked them down here. I believe they are linen, they are certainly cotton. I use them as large napkins...the attraction for me was the "linen union" wording on them.

The set I purchased consists of 2 large bath towel sand that was it. Hope this helps. By the way they were nice towels.

It's like a "glossy cotton". Not satin, but something is mixed w/ the cotton to make it more of a smooth texture. They are really cute & wash up well, but not what I expected. My 5 year old loves them.

The material is not shiny or satin like. I would say it is more like thick cotton sheets. Nice set!

This is from the description: "Constructed of 24-ounce (commercial weight) higher density cotton, these towels are washed at high temperatures with bleach agents to ensure minimal shrinkage." I think it indicates the quality of the fabric. Each towel is thin and light.

these are dish towels not napkins, they do have 2 blue stripes. They don't hold up to washing very well and stain very easily.

These towels are not a traditional towel, they are made of finely spun cotton and are more similar to a bed sheet, as in a woven material, then a cotton loop traditional towel. I've actually started using these towels over my regular bath towels because they are just so soft after only a few washes and dry super fast so they don't get smelly like a bath towel does.

They are 60% bamboo. I suggest not getting the white as they stain easily. These towels shrink quite a bit. I suggest that you line dry these and stretch them back into shape before doing so. I love the red towels that I got. I hope this helps.

They're microfiber. So they're not cotton. They're incredibly soft and breathable though.

I don't know, I returned them because I thought it was something else. It was pillow cases and what looked like a sheet. I was expecting a lightweight coverlet/quilt type thing.

yes, they are. The material they were made of was more 'plastic-ey' than I anticipated but that way I am sure they will hold up longer. Soft and fold-able like cloth. Maybe kind of like a light tarp. But these are the pictures they had on them.

Microfiber and much lighter than normal towels. Wash up well and fold down very tight! These are great towels!

I did not get the washcloths, so I could not comment on comparison. However, the towels are pretty thick.

I was led to believe they're bamboo. To be honest I couldn't distinguish them from cotton, but we ordered extra bamboo inserts and received the same thing

They are 100% Egyptian cotton 725 gram weight. I also bought the cotton 550 gram weight towels and they are definitely lighter/thinner. (I had the most difficult time trying to find this basic info when I was looking at the different towels too!! I just happened to glance at the heading on my browser page at one point, and there it was....go figure. You'd think Amazon would include a basic fact like this.)

I bought them for my daughter to embroider on. I gave them to her and I don't really remember. But I can tell you they were of great quality the ones I got and more like linen towels. And big enough I think to cut in half and make two towels. They might be just a little skinny. I plan to buy more of them for her. In trade she is going to embroider some for me. Hope this helps you.

They are not paper for sure. They are from some kind of fabric that almost mimics backing for the furniture. It is hard to discribe really but it not paper for sure. Hope that helps. I bought and used bunch of them and when I run out I will buy again.
