Quick question.

i've been contemplating knitting and/or crocheting my aunts some dish cloths and towels for Christmas... every year we do a craft exchange at christmas time, one big craft and we draw numbers, but often times people make smaller crafty gifts for everyone, and was just wondering what type of yarn is best for dish towels?

i have knitted and crocheted tons of dish cloths, but I don't like cotton for dish towels (for drying dishes), because it doesn't get the dishes very dry.

Is there a different type of yarn anyone can recommend that may work for dish towels that works well? Any advice is appreciated.
