This is a very new user-ish question.  :>

I'm trying to make something very simple.  It's a towel.  Making the towel
itself was easy enough, but my problem is the texture.  Towels need to look
a bit rough.  Every texture I've tried so far has come out looking
unnaturally smooth.   (Almost metal-like)  I've tried raising the roughness
value for the texture, but that doesn't really help too much.  Since I
don't know povray too well yet, I'm not sure what else to try.

Anyway, if anyone can help me out here, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Have you tried using a normal in the finish. A finish with NO reflection, phong nor
specular, but a 
normal scaled small, try granite or leopard with a scale agound 0.01 or maybe smaller.
