The Merits of Various Materials for Guest Towels: A Contemplation

The selection of guest towels, dear reader, is a task not to be undertaken lightly. Beyond the mere considerations of size and color lies the more nuanced question of material, a detail upon which the comfort and satisfaction of one’s guests may significantly depend.

A hostess eager to impress might gravitate towards fabrics of ostentatious luxury, linens so fine and delicate as to be more suited for display than for practical use. Yet such extravagance could prove misguided. A guest, confronted with a towel of silk or lace, might well hesitate to mar its pristine beauty with the commonplace act of drying one’s hands.

On the other hand, a towel of coarse or unyielding texture, while perhaps suggestive of a thrifty nature, risks conveying a certain lack of consideration for one’s guest. Who among us has not endured the unpleasant sensation of a towel that chafes rather than cossets?

The discerning hostess, therefore, will seek out a material that occupies the golden mean between these two extremes. A fabric that combines softness and absorbency, durability and a pleasing drape – these are the hallmarks of a truly exceptional guest towel.
