These 'Must-Have' Cotton Dish Towels Cost Less Than $1.50 Apiece

If you like to cook, your kitchen is one of the rooms in your home where you spend the most time, and it's also likely the space with the most essentials tucked inside. After all, cooking and baking require tools, like mixing bowls, pots, pans, and spoons. Because you need so many kitchen gadgets to create each dish (not to mention enjoy it), there's always something to clean and dry—and that means you've got to have a durable set of kitchen towels to reach for daily.

For more than three decades, Kaf Home has been designing professional grade linens, and its goal is to create pieces that not only offer excellent functionality but also allow you to welcome classic, timeless style into your home. Its set of neutral farmhouse dish towels definitely fits the bill. But what's even more enticing is that a set of 12 goes for just $16, which means each towel costs less than $1.50.

"I wanted a simple, clean, farmhouse style dish towel," wrote one five-star reviewer, "and that's exactly what I got." They also mentioned they will order the kitchen hand towels again. Another shopper called the set "a must-have for every kitchen" and highlighted its low price point and the towels' ability to quickly absorb water.

The 100 percent cotton towels in the set measure 25 inches by 15 inches. Not only are the towels large and absorbent, but they're also an eco-friendly alternative to paper towels, because you can reuse them over and over again for cooking, baking, dining, and cleaning.

One shopper who uses their set as napkins that can transition into towels while cleaning up called them "versatile workhorse[s]" thanks to their multiple uses. Another five-star reviewer said that the towels are perfect for host or housewarming gifts, adding that they look like they're from Williams Sonoma.

Whether your kitchen incorporates rustic or modern style, the Kaf Home kitchen towels will fit into your existing decor and work well no matter what task you're tackling—and you can shop the set for under $20.
