Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This item is definitely NOT 100% cotton. I’ve been working professionally with fabrics for the past 33 years. As soon as I unpacked this towel something seemed off. The tassels were a bit too white and the fabric felt warm and fuzzy to the touch, not smooth and cool like cotton. As per other reviewers suggestions, I then washed the towel, which only made it more obvious that this is not cotton. The absorbency is not great and the fabric feels almost oily when it’s wet- like an acrylic sweater. Short of doing a burn test to figure out the fine content, at best I will use this as a beach blanket, but I really wish I hadn’t washed it so I could return it. What a waste of money!
