I looked a long while to find pinecone towels in this beautiful color. However, when they arrived I realized there was a slight issue with their design. They have pre-embroidered pinecone strips sewn to the bottom edge of all of them. (The embroidery is not sewn directly onto the towels.) The strips themselves had already stretched from the embroidery being applied. Consequently, even though they were neatly sewn on, the stretched fabric sagged in places. This was most noticeable when the towels were hung up. Someone must have anticipated the problems might worsen after they were washed, because 'dry cleaning' was suggested as another cleaning option! You've got to be kidding! Dry cleaning towels? I don't think so. Sadly, not thinking they would last well over time, I had to return them.
