Reminds me of the carpeting around a bathroom toilet. Looks nice! Wonder how they compare to the Prima Monster Fluffies?

Well my question was serious! I've had issues with the binding on MFs being made out of something other than cotton.

Whatever you call it Phil, don't call it the Paolo Towel.. You probably won't get the joke..because there was a very controversial vendor on NAM awhile back coining the name Paolo Uber.....and his business practices were pretty shady.

I was thinking the same thing, Richard. I think the word "uber" is probably permanently-ruined for me now after the whole Palo Uber debacle here on NAM.

And I'd like to second Melissa's question - what are the edges sewn with?

it's sewn with probably 100% chinese cotton string which can contain up to 99% misc items.

not sure, but i prefer my MF not to have any
edges cause that's where most grit gets stuck and
pushed around. kinda like Griot's bad idea of
using a tag on their towels.

sorry was at the doctor's all day and under the weather prior to this I was in the hospital for 13 days for a nasty case of pneumonia, still not 100% there yet. I'm a kidney transplant patient.... again sorry about that I'm usually on my game.....

I put in to the mfg to double check it before I post it and I will have an answer for you shortly.

Thanks for following up, Phil. If you have one of the towels handy, just pull a bit of the edging out and burn it with a lighter. If it turns to ash, it's cotton. If it shrinks up into a blob, it's polyester, nylon or some other synthetic.

That reminds me of a time I wiped down a hot bbq grill with a wet costco microfiber and learned never to do that again...as it just melted and stuck to the grill and made it a lot worse to clean up!

Surely the name has to be "The Incredible Bulk"?

by doing the test suggested it looks to me like its a cotton blend it ashes and then close to the threads it starts to act like nylon, I will report back once I hear back from the mfg.

I like the incredible bulk, or just Hulks.

Any chance I could help with the beta testing
