Default Hemp Tea Towels

I picked up two gorgeous looking hemp tea towels from Earthfare market a
while ago. They're bright and soft and colorful...and very UN-absorbent!!
Has anyone else tried them and noticed this? Very disappointing

Alas, they've been washed enough by now that the problem is actual and
not temporary. And I'm not using fabric softener or anything that
should interfere with absorption. It is such a shame as they're so
pretty too.

I stick with (when I can find them) 100% cotton kitchen towels. Cotton is
very absorbant.

water repelling capabilities!!

DH had a pair of hemp jeans. They lasted aaaages. Hemp is a very
durable fibre.

I think it has been proven that when a useless idiot like Greg calls one a
useless idiot, it means one must be useful. It's like some weird double
negative effect.

Now blake, I've decided to adopt a post - election "Good Neighbor Policy"
towards you, I'll be nicer to you in future...nor more silly trolling or
"imitating" of you.

Besides, I've got my hands full "taking care" of blAndy (which should take
about all of two seconds)...
