yes Carole, but it is also great having a towell big enough to be able to use like one uses a normal towell to. Sometimes comfort wins - and using muslin means I can have a big towell and less weight!. By the way - I got a pretty lavender length of muslin (Spotlight sell it here) and also cut and hemmed some into man's hanky size and took one as a brow mopper. Cheers, JanetCutting down weight is my primary objective...
Hobbes said:On Towels... No one mentioned raw silk. It can be bought as fabric and finished by someone with a sewing machine or bought as a finished towel. It is lightweight, doesn't hold odor, and dries quickly (30 minutes). We have used it on our last 4 Camino trips and it works best of anything we tried.

Hobbs.. where did you get the silk and is it absorbent enough?
I hate those microfiber towel that just smear the water around.
