Hand towels are smaller in size and are mainly used to dry your hands after taking a shower. Hand towels are often placed near bathroom and kitchen sinks for easy access.  Hand towels are available in a variety of materials, including cotton, bamboo, and microfiber.  Hand towels are designed to be soft and gentle while effectively absorbing moisture.

First of all, because linen’s flax fibers are slightly longer than those of cotton and wrapped a little tighter, linen sheets are stronger which means they will last much longer. If softness is a factor for you, you may want to consider cotton, though. Flax fibers are much rougher than cotton resulting in slightly crisper fabric. But the great thing about linen is that it gets softer after each wash, so essentially it gets better with time.
