Awaiting the delivery of 4 Turkish hand towels (for use in bathroom and bedroom), to supplement my old 15 x 27″ stock, in white and yellow, as they gradually fray and shred and get retired as rags or trash. My helper Isaac asked how old they were, and was astounded to be told that Jacques and I bought them 40 years ago. The new ones: Slightly larger (16 x 28″), in a color labeled silver grey Lexical matters. Turkish hand towel. First, hand towels are bigger than wash cloths / face cloths (12 x 12″) and smaller than bath towels (in the neighborhood of 27 x 55″). (And beach towels are much larger than bath towels.) Then, from NOAD: noun Turkish towel: a towel made of cotton terry toweling. noun terry (also terry cloth): a fabric with raised uncut loops of thread covering both surfaces, used especially for towels [AZ: because it’s especially absorbent and durable]. And that’s today’s shopping news from my house.
