I first bought Woods T- towels for my new flat in 2007 and they are still in perfect condition. Even serious stains can be washed out with a little non bio washing powder in a big pot of boiling water. My daughter (in New Zealand) wanted to know where I got them from when she was searching for some special T-towels for her brand new kitchen. Of course once I told her that Woods make a black stripe classic as well as the more traditional red, blue or green ... she was delighted. The lovely brown paper parcel tied with string arrived at my place within two days of ordering and I’ll be taking them as they are when I visit my daughter very soon. Long live Woods choice of superb quality, traditional, beautiful designs which they provide via a very efficient, caring service. Thank you
