The first time I bought towels from The Longest Thread was 4 years ago. I bought them as a welcome gift for my destination wedding. They were such a hit, our friends and family loved them and they still use them to this day. I’ve bought more over the years as gifts for friends and I recently purchased these black ones for traveling. These really are the best. They pack down small but are large enough for two people to sit on comfortably. They dry quickly and wash well! Such high quality at an amazing price. Don’t hesitate, buy these!
