Where can I buy decent towels that won't shrink over time. Mine seem to shrink about 3 inches in, where there is a differnt pattern to the towel. I do use a tumble dryer to finish them off after washing.
Towels should NEVER be tumble dried or have fabric softner added to the rinse. They loose their absorbancy. The best towels are Egyptian cotton. If you hold a towel up to the light, the LESS light you can see through them, the better they are.
You must be washing your towels at the wrong temperature, I only buy cheap towels and they never shrink. I got my last lot from a UK site for a great price.
