The same thing that makes sheets on the line so crisp makes the towels stiff. I wonder if the chlorine makes them stiff too? I still prefer line dried towels. I remember my mom starting the summer out with matching "pool towels" , slowly they would disappear into the cars of visiting friends of mine. Maybe QuiltnNan is right, if they don't like it they may bring their own.

He he he....I have also found some very nice beach towels that some have forgotten. I have found that they don't really mind the rough towels that much. I think I was the one that thought I should give them soft towels and have gotten over it...too many towels, just so they are clean and I am fine with that.

So I have a swimming pool and there are days that I have lots of family over to swim...not all of them remember to bring towel. I have plenty of large heavy towels... Now to the problem, I had about 7 large towels to wash and because I did not want to run my dryer for a long time I put them in about 5 min. i thought to fluff them up, and then I hung them up on a line. When I took them down they were really rough and kind of stiff.
I remember hanging up wet towels on the line when I was young, ( I am 77) and I don't remember them being so rough. What am I doing wrong, because they were not super dirty I washed them in cold water and Gain. Gee, maybe old dogs can still learn from other.
