the nn micro cotton towels are very thick my mum has some. sizing a bit odd but you get used to it.
Do they dry quicker than normal cotton? It takes so long to dry cotton towels in the winter.
I'll answer my own question LOL. Just found this link: http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx?view=2&app=detail¶ms=item^833211,navlist^831395*833211*833210*833169*,cm_scid^dtlr
where it says that it does dry quicker and here is the rest of the spiel for anyone (other than me) who doesn't know about the micro cotton:
What is MicroCotton?
MicroCotton towels are made with 100% pure cotton. During the manufacturing process, each individual loop is made with 120 fibres as opposed to 30 or 40 in a normal towel. The loops are open or 'blossomed' which allows the towels to capture more water than their regular, twisted-loop counterparts. The final result offers a lightweight, plush and luxuriously soft towel.
How to keep towels looking and feeling great
These machine washable towels are very easy to care for – just pop in the machine and go! But a common question everyone asks is how to keep towels looking and feeling their best wash after wash. So here are some handy pointers:
• Lock in the softness by using a third less detergent
• Rinse twice if this option is available on your machine
• Retain the fluffiness by tumble-drying on a lower heat
• Skip the fabric softeners and drier sheets - these can make towels less absorbent
