All of my thick fluffy towels come out SO crunchy when I try to line dry so I just use the dryer. Do turkish towels line dry better? Or linen towels? Dryer isn't an option for them where they live. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668534 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 08:30:58 +0000 Cole 2668534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two from Amazon, maybe even the same brand and we use them for swimming and going to the beach. They are awesome for that, I can fit all of our stuff in one big tote bag then and if we're in and out of the water they're mostly dry pretty fast. At some point we may switch for the bathroom but haven't yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668526 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 08:18:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2668526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@azjax: haha, I get caught in the little things. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668525 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 08:16:56 +0000 azjax 2668525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: the Turkish body towels we have were gifted to us from BB&amp;B. The other towels are pretty plush so may not display the hook very well. Our books are pretty plain so I never thought of that before haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668508 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 06:59:10 +0000 erinbaderin 2668508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few I got from eBay. I love them for swim class or going away for the weekend, they're so compact that they're great for packing in a bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668502 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 04:36:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2668502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@azjax: those towels look pretty plush. Do they hang like regular towels? I am installing the B&amp;W Anthro wall hooks in LO's bathroom and the guest bathroom. Part of the appeal of Turkish Towels is the way they hang much thinner than regular towels, which will give the hook more opportunity to be seen.</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: @peachykeen: thanks for the rec! I picked up West Elm Turkish hand towels, but was clueless on where to get the body towels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668448 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 22:08:36 +0000 azjax 2668448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have some and I like how soft they are, but I don't find them to be as absorbent or as quick-drying as I expected. We also have these and I love how absorbent and durable they are:<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00243GXHA?colid=&#038;coliid=I2WMKRJVRGMEVP&#038;ref_=hit_wr_dt_vr_md_pt_mobile" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00243GXHA?colid=&#038;coliid=I2WMKRJVRGMEVP&#038;ref_=hit_wr_dt_vr_md_pt_mobile</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668446 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 22:03:50 +0000 peachykeen 2668446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just checked my order history and apparently we have the exact same brand as @Mrs. Pen: (Dandelion Textile). Good quality for the price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668443 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 22:02:18 +0000 peachykeen 2668443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a few from Amazon and bought a few in Istanbul this summer. They're way softer than regular towels (they just get softer with each wash) but the fringe on Amazon ones has gotten kind of messed up from repeated washings. I actually haven't used the ones from Istanbul yet so I can't speak to that aspect for them, but they are thicker/softer than the Amazon ones (pre-washing). They're so pretty I haven't been able to bring myself to use them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668441 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 21:55:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2668441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two I bought off amazon and I do love them!! they're not quite as plush/absorbent as regular towels, but they dry so quickly, they're so soft and I like that they don't retain a smell like most towels lol! I love the look of them too.</p> <p>I have these ones:<br /> <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Natural-Gray-Turkish-Towel-Peshtemal/dp/B00SNN1BJK/ref=sr_1_7?s=home-garden&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1482288903&#038;sr=1-7&#038;keywords=turkish+towel" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/Natural-Gray-Turkish-Towel-Peshtemal/dp/B00SNN1BJK/ref=sr_1_7?s=home-garden&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1482288903&#038;sr=1-7&#038;keywords=turkish+towel</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turkish-towels#post-2668429 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 21:30:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2668429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have them?
