Dish Towels
I try to find patterns for towels and I get that I can use any repetitive pattern for any towel. But do I still use cotton?

I have a towel I made P2 K2 and it's short because I used one ball only of Sugar-n-Cream. But my hubby says it doesnt' absorb like our regular towels for drying his hands.

Was it the pattern I did? Or will I just not accomplish making a towel for drying your hands that is nice like a store bought towel?

Thanks for your help in advance!
