Pantry Cotton Check Keukendoeken Set

The grid pattern is subtle enough that they don't look like dishrags sitting out, and the cotton's actually held up through a dozen washes without stiffening. They dry dishes without leaving lint, which is all I really ask for from a kitchen towel.

These are the first cotton towels I've grabbed for at the sink all week. They're soft enough to dry glasses without streaks, but the absorbency is solid for wiping down the counter after dishes. The set of two is perfect for swapping out when one gets dirty.

The grid pattern actually gives them a bit of grip when I’m drying glasses, which is a nice surprise. They’ve held up through a week of daily dish duty and still feel soft, no fraying yet.
