This is news to me!

Bath towels are essential household items, yet their design often goes unnoticed.

The lines on towels, which may appear decorative, serve specific purposes that improve functionality and longevity. These lines are created through weaving techniques that enhance absorption, structural integrity, and tactile experience.

The primary function of these lines is to increase water absorption by expanding the surface area. They also aid in drying by promoting air circulation and help maintain the towel’s shape

Tread lines reinforce the towel’s durability, preventing fraying and preserving its plush feel. Dobby weaves create stable, resilient fabric, while dobby borders strengthen the edges, preventing unraveling. Understanding these details enhances our appreciation of towel craftsmanship.
