The herringbone weave makes these towels almost lint-free. Great kitchen help for drying and wiping and for use as napkins. Our kitchen towel also includes glass towel which is designed to clean and put extra luster to glassware. It is soft and non abrasive, with distinctive red stripes to help separate from other towels. It is quite soft and will lend itself very well to the most demanding task of drying delicate glassware.
