Thick bath towels are a true luxury that last a surprisingly long time, and get better with every use. These organic cotton towels with bold contrast stitching mimic the look and evoke the comfort of a favorite old blanket.
Cotton is one of the materials that we're particularly concerned about buying organic, even more so for something meant to be used against our skin everyday.

These are nice - and I like the fact that they're organic...
...but they're kinda pricey - and I gotta wonder how that blanket stitch is going to hold up after a dozen washes or so?
Here are some that are less expensive and come in colors:

Didn't we just see this a week or two ago?
Man, that stitch would be easy to duplicate on a normal towel. My sewing machine does that. Why pay the price when I could do it myself. HMMMM. :D
I like the towels and the stitching and I think it would hold up. However, Sundance doesn't send me any more catalogs since I decided about eight years ago that buying turquoise jewelry graced by wordy and pretentious copy was really demented, given the fact that I travel to the Southwest frequently. All the faux rusticity can be found for less elsewhere, like Eddie Bauer.
The towels had an appealing 40s look to them. I think my mother had something similar for dust cloths that she inherited from her mother-in-law, who never saw a fabric that she didn't to apply a Singer zig-zag to.
My mom has been making towels that look like that for years with her surger! I agree - find the organic towling and DIY...
