I guess "wooly" towels seem to dry slower as the water soaks deep inside them and when you hang them up the air flows over the surface, drying the tips of the fibres but leaving some water deeper inside which is effectively sheltered from the drying air.I must be very thick as I fail to understand how these towels work so well.
So,you have a shower,you let some of the water drip off you,then you apply said towel to your body. So....the water that was on you is now on your towel.
In order to dry said towel you must now put it somewhere where the water will evaporate.
That's the same for any towel isn't it? Well,obviously not,but can someone explain it to me please.

You could do a trial. Tip a bucket of water over an un-shorn sheep and another bucket over one which has just been shorn. Stand them side by side in a field and see which dries faster.
Avoid doing this anywhere public as it may invite undeserved comment. The public never understand the sacrifices which must be made to advance human understanding.
