What is Micro Modal and how does it differ from cotton?

Micro modal is a natural fiber made of 100% beechwood cellulose. These fibers are softer, 50% more absorbent than cotton and dry more quickly.

Listed below are the factors that effect towel quality:

Density of the pile the more compact, increases wear resistance
Height of the pile higher is more absorbent

Yarn strength
Yarn twist more twist increases durability, but reduces absorption and softness
Selvage should be firm and even
Hems if turned under, they should be sewn with short, regular stitches

Why is towel weight important?

The heavier the towel usually means more loops. The more loops a towel has the more absorbent it is.

Should I use fabric softener when I dry my towels?

When drying your towels, try to avoid fabric softeners, which often contain a silicone- based chemical that will limit the absorbency of the towel.

What is the difference between Egyptian cotton and regular cotton?
