Pique towels are finely ribbed and woven of 100% cotton that gets softer and more absorbent with use. They're large, too, measuring 20" x 30", larger than many kitchen towels. They're woven for us in hues to match our solid-color aprons, oven mitts and potholders, as well as our solid-color, centerband and multi-stripe towels, Care is easy; machine wash in cold water, tumble dry on a low setting.
