Terrycloth , terry cloth , terry cotton , terry towel , terry towel is a cloth with knots that can absorb water in large quantities. These can be produced by weaving or knitting. Toweling is woven on a special loom that has two longitudinal warp beams through which the filler or feed is fired laterally. The production of the first terrycloth towel industry, in 1850, was initiated by British manufacturer Christy.
There are two types of terry fabrics:
- Terry towel
- This is a woven fabric with a long loop that can absorb water in large quantities. Its contents are usually 100% cotton, but sometimes contain polyester.
- French Terry
- These are fabrics, which are used in men's, women's and children's suits. One side is flat, while the other side with a cross. It is 100% cotton or contains polyester with spandex (also known as elastane or lycra). Often weft knits, and the French Terry term is a colloquial language used for all of Terry's crocheted lashes.
This is the length of the loop that determines how much liquid is absorbed by the fabric because the longer loop gives more surface area to absorb and come into contact with the liquid.
Items that can be made from terrycloth include reusable diapers (UK UK) or baby diapers (US English), towels, bathrobes, sheets, and sweat bands for wrists or heads. Terrycloth is also sometimes used to make sweat jackets. Terry Toweling hat with shallow thorns was once popular with cricketers (such as British wicketkeeper Jack Russell), but no longer in fashion.
The alternative fabric used for towels is waffle cloth. The modern synthetic alternative is microfiber.
