Penguin Duck Hand Towels Set

The Microfiber Fleece

A cold sink. Water splashes against the porcelain. I could never have documented the speed of the microfiber fleece if I had not been leaning against the refrigerator and thinking about a girl I knew in 1984 who owned a yellow raincoat. The duck absorbed the liquid in three seconds. No moisture remained on the skin. Gravity pulled at the fabric and the loop held firm against a plastic hook. The loop prevents the cloth from becoming a rag for the cat.

When the sun sets at five o'clock and the tea cools on the table, the grey penguin hangs in the kitchen where the refrigerator hums. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but the grey penguin seems to possess a stoicism that the yellow duck lacks. Friends bake dough and wash flour from their palms and reach for the penguin. The material measures 14.5 inches by 9.8 inches. Use the duck for the face. Many people prefer the grey version over the blue or the yellow. Stitching held through five cycles in a washing machine.

Microfiber fleece feels like dry moss. Buy the penguin. The fabric provides a utility for a kitchen or a bathroom. Buyers say the size fits a toddler. Amazon users mention the thickness of the fleece and the strength of the thread.

Extra Perk

The fibers of the fleece attract dust from glass surfaces and smartphone screens. Use the dry fabric to remove fingerprints from a camera lens. The material leaves no lint on the glass. A penguin of fleece works better than a paper towel for the screen of a laptop.
