Cotton towels are the most popular type of towel, however, visually attractive towels can be made from many different fibers.
As a towel’s main purpose is to blot up water. Cotton actually absorbs moisture within the structure of the fiber, between its various layers or walls. Cotton towels may be available in several varieties:
- Organic cotton
- Regularly grown cotton (domestic)
- Organic towels
Cotton is hydrophilic, which means it has a strong affinity for water. Synthetic fibers, on the other hand are hydrophobic; this means that a cotton-polyester towel will not be as absorbent as an all-cotton towel. 100 percent cotton towels are the best for the job.

Towel Care Tips
Our towels should last more than a decade, which means you should consider making an "investment" by purchasing the highest quality towels you can afford. Our thick & thirsty towels become even softer with every wash. Rich colors are created with low eco-impact dyes. Chlorine- and softener-free finishing preserves the purity and softness of the cotton. |
Here are some tips that will help prolong the life of your organic cotton towels:
- Launder frequently with soft water and detergent.
- Avoid fabric softeners as they contain silicones that will make them virtually water repellent.
- Deeply colored towels will bleed during the first three or four washings, so wash them separately at first. After that, continue to wash similar colors together.
- Do not bleach colored towels.
- Wash white towels separately because subtle pick-up from colored items will occur gradually over time.
Cotton Towels Come in Terry Cloth or Velour...
A terry cloth towel features loops that enhance its drying ability. The more loops, the greater the drying power.
But some people prefer the sheen of a velour towel, which is created by a shearing process that removes part of the terry and shortens the fabric pile. But keep in mind that the velour towel’s shorter loops makes it slightly less absorbent. However, this does not affect its performance as long as it is used to blot, rather than rub dry.
