Do you know the difference between terry cloth and terry weaving? Usually only experts know this. Colloquially, the term ‘terry cloth’ is actually only used. But there are big differences to the ‘terry towelling’ variant:
Terry cloth is a fabric whose yarn is twisted into loops. Terry cloth, on the other hand, consists of a fabric (consisting of warp/weft/pile warp) that has loops on both sides of the fabric. These loops or loops (pile) are created during weaving, which is why a special loom is required for this. Terry cloth is therefore much more stable and denser than terry cloth.
The Wikipedia entry also makes me smile: terry cloth is a textile fabric, terry weaving is the name of the Austrian author Corinne Frottier. However…
When you think of ‘towel’ or ‘bathrobe’, absorbency and softness are paramount. And this is achieved with terry weaving. Ideally with a weight of over 450 g/m², natural fibers such as cotton, linen or viscose and manufactured in Europe, which usually guarantees compliance with high ecological and social standards.
HERKA produces exclusively terry weaving in Austria. If this fabric is ‘put up’ by washing and ‘puffed’ by air-drying, the result is a cuddly, highly absorbent loop pile. A real pleasure with a clear conscience.
