I bought your 100-Percent Organic Cotton wash cloths. The label says "100% Combed Organic Cotton Loops" can you please explain what that means?

It refers to how the towels are made. The cotton yarn is either carded or combed. I'm not sure if Amazon allows for offsite linking so I'm going to quote from another website. It is just a basic summary so if you would like more detail just search " combed vs carded cotton"."When cotton or another fabric is "combed," the shortest, additional fibers of a batch are removed. The result produces high-quality, extra soft yarns with excellent strength and softness. Combed cotton uses finer fiber than carded yarns and is more regular and expensive than carded yarn" It refers to how the towels are made. The cotton yarn is either carded or combed.

I assume that the fibers are looped rather than just cut short, so there should be less fraying. We like the towels very much.

Hi there...the tag says "new material consisting of 100% cotton, Fill is 100% polyester. It says to machine wash and tumble dry low. I haven't used this set yet but it's adorable. If I were to wash it, I'd wash in gentle cycle on cold and air dry instead of putting it in the dryer. Hope this helps!

I can only tell you what the tag says, which is, "Front 100% Cotton - Back 100% Cotton - Filling 100% Cotton". I have no reason to doubt it. It feels and looks like cotton, but I have no allergies to other fabrics, so can only take their word for it! Hope this helps.

I don't know. They are accidentally labeled as "polishing cloths" and they're pretty soft. They shrink though!

They are microfiber, not cotton!!! The thread count has no relevance whatsoever. This is cheap polyester microfiber and you will hate it. Sleazy advertising to say that it is "like" Egyptian cotton. It is not!

I believe there is a bit of marketing at play here. The current description reads "100% Egyptian striped..." It does not say "cotton"! Most people assume, when sheets are described, that cotton is a given with the word Egyptian. Not so in this case. P.S. The sheets are inexpensive but they are wearing well so far.

to the best our knowledge they are. THis is why we bought them, tho i can't say i know a lot about the standards applied and certifications checked! It matters to us because of the cultivation of cotton can be so toxic. They are nice towels though, we were pleased. At first they didn't seem to soak up as much water but when we washed them they were nicer and did. Maybethere was some sizing on them! not sure but they felt nice right away. I hope that helps!

The ones I bought are 100% polyester. There is no thread count so I compared one of the microfiber sheets with my cotton sheets. The weave look like it is between my 300 and 400 count sheets, but closer to the 300 count sheets. It is very light and soft. I does not look or feel like a cotton sheet. One thing I did notice: I bought 2 sets and ran them all through the same light wash load before using them. On one set the dots faded from bright primary colors to a softer pastel shade. There has not been any further fading.

Well, I can say this (because I've had them for a couple months now) it doesn't wash like cotton. It washes like micro-fiber and feels like it. IF it is cotton I'm confused. /shrug

Everyone answering this with the statement that they are cotton really needs to check the sewn in tag!I don't see 100 % cotton anywhere in the headline or description. This sheet set is 100 % polyester. Does feel like microfiber which is what the description says. I bought the chocolate colored set. UPDATED: I now see a photo that shows packaging stating 100% egyptian cotton. I believe this is only there because it is what they are comparing these sheet to. In all reality they are 100% polyester as I stated above. I took that information directly off the sewn in tag. They feel wonderful and I am extremely satisified with my purchase.

It's more like sateen than cotton. Smooth an almost organic. We really like our set.

It says on the bag that it is Wildcrafted, which I believe means that it is from wild, uncultivated plants. This would be next best thing to Organic. I'm quite happy with the product. I found this link which may be helpful to you. http://mysticnaturals.com/blog/wildcrafted-vs-organic-herbs/

I order 100% cotton and I assume that this is what I received..... I am using the material as a small drape and it works well

These are NOT cotton. They are 100% polyester, made in China, and not labeled properly for import/customs. I only found out what they were made of by checking the content tag on the sheet itself. Deceptive advertising says "feels like 100% Egyptian cotton on package, but Amazon product display says nothing about the content.

there's no tag on the product, but it doesn't feel like 100% cotton. I believe it's a cotton/poly blend. It does take a dye quite well (I tied dyed one). I also applied iron on transfers and those worked very well.
