Query: Soft but not absorbant

These towels are beautiful and feel extremely soft as described. The problem is that they aren't very absorbant. They just don't dry my body like other towels do. I thought maybe that would change after a few washings, but no such luck. Theyv'e been through six washings now and still no improvement.I'm disappointed. I bought four sets but now I find myself reaching for old towels from the back of the linen closet.Also, be careful washing them. The colors will definitely run in the first two or three washings. Don't wash with other towels (as I did). The old towels will come out the color of your new ones.
