madPete Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 These really are the bees knees for traveling. They are lightweight, absorbant and period! What are they? a lightweight linen towel in sizes from a handtowel up to a full beach towel size. Best in subdued colors or colors that are at least represented in the era Who wants a modern terrycloth towel hanging out to dry on their tent line after spending the effort on kit and so forth? https://www.chairish.com/product/2749420/turkish-oyster-linen-and-cotton-towel?clickId=4441956025 https://www.westelm.com/products/organic-turkish-tassel-towels-t5370/?catalogId=71&sku=1348722&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=MSN&cm_pla=Bath > Towels&adlclid=ee94fcb07155145974d0981f2e2bd9a5&adlclid=ADL-d8fabf98-02c3-40a7-b79d-8727bea8749c&cm_ite=1348722_458012940 William sent me a small beige one that is so perfect for traveling. I found the brighter colors at goodwill, but I'm sure they will fade a bit. oh, and some bio-degradable soap/shampoo that we used at Key West with the makeshift showers... https://www.rei.com/product/730925/dr-bronners-organic-liquid-soap-travel-size?CAWELAID=120217890000936060&cm_mmc=PLA_Google|21700000001700551_7309250020|92700061989944825|BA|71700000074512915&gclsrc=3p.ds&gclsrc=ds&gclsrc=ds Aye...

Mary Diamond Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 I agree, I love my Turkish towel! Oooh, shiny!
LadyBarbossa Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 Ooooooo... 😍 Ok... now they are on my new, updated 18th c Wishlist. 😉🏴☠️ Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
madPete Posted August 3, 2023 Author Posted August 3, 2023 Easy to make from a yard of lightweight linen. just hem the edges! Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Mary Diamond Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 If you are lucky enough to see linen tow fabric, snatch it up. I was lucky to obtain some, and it is my favorite for toweling fabric. It is coarsely woven, like burlap, but a heavier weight. Oooh, shiny!

Labeled "coarse linen" and for $6 yard. Thought it might end up being too rough but the washed sample they had was not too bad, and for the cost of a coffee, it was worth the attempt IMHO....glad someone has some experience and the same thoughts!!
