Terrycloth

Terrycloth or terry cotton is a type of fabric woven with many projecting loops of thread. The small rings that cause a feathered appearance are the terry cloth itself which can absorb large amounts of water.

The name terrycloth comes from the French verb 'tirer' which means 'to pull' because of how the fabric is made by pulling pile loops by hand to make absorbent traditional towelling. This is simply what people think of when they imagine a classic soft robe! Terry is extremely common for spa and hotel robes.

Traditional terry cloth is woven from cotton; however, it can also be made from silk, linen, polyester and other synthetic fibres or blends. It's not only a breathable and highly absorbent structure, but also comfy and soft due to its heavy weight. This makes it an ideal fabric for towels and bathrobes. 

Our terry towels and bathrobes are made of 100% extra-long Egyptian Cotton. No blends or substitutes.
