Product information for New Turkish Travel Towels â New Charcoal Waffle
The hand-crafted Everyday Carry Towel.àWhen you want just the essentials, discover the long-loved attributes of a Turkish Peshtemal.àDating back hundreds of years to the Ottoman Empire and originally used in Turkish hammams (steam baths), peshtemals are lightweight, compact, quick-drying, and beautifully crafted towels.Specs & Special CareDimensions:à74" x 35"àThread Gauge:àMedium WeightFiber:à100% Turkish CottonAll of our towels are woven from the highest quality, unprocessed Turkish cotton which requires a time of âÂÂlooseningâ its unique flat weave of unprocessedàfibers.àIt is through this process of breaking in or training of the long fibers that our towels become softer and more absorbent with each wash.àThe century old practice of creating thisàtype of flat weave with an extra long fiber is what ensures the towels will last for decades, dry quickly, and be absorbent.àIt is also why theàtowels are so thin.àà"The Training Of The Peshtemal Towel"The loosening or "training" process requires a good soak in water for about 4-6 hours followed by a cold to warm wash and low tumble dry cycle.àIt is theàsoaking process that allows for the unprocessed threads to fully hydrate and plump upàallowing for theàinitial absorbency of the towel.àFrom this point, it will only get softer and more absorbent with each wash.
