Towel Buying Guide
Shopping for good quality towels can often be a daunting task. Our homeware department has put together a great buying guide for high-quality towels.
BAMBOO TOWELS
Bamboo can grow without the use of pesticides or herbicides. The plant has a natural defense to ward off bacteria and fungus. Bamboo towels have the same antimicrobial and anti-fungal effect, which keep them cleaner with less washing. Bamboo can wick away moisture more efficiently than cotton, making it ideal for towels. They are 3 times more durable than cotton towels of a similar quality. The money saving advantage of stronger, longer lasting bamboo towels means they will need to be replaced less often.
BAMBOO COTTON/ BLENDS TOWEL
The cotton fibre ideally compliment the properties of bamboo. The bamboo blend towels have a natural antibacterial, hypoallergenic & thermal regulating properties. The properties of this blend can have up to 3 times more absorbency than cotton towels of the similar quality.
EGYPTIAN COTTON
Are generally 100% Egyptian, ie. Long staple fibres, making them exceptionally soft, luxurious and highly durable.
ZERO TWIST TOWELS
Zero twist cotton refers to the pile yarn that has no twist or very little twist. Zero twist towels are constructed from long staple cotton yarns only. Zero twist yarns are coated with a PVA finish to hold the fibres together during weaving. When the yarn is dyed, the PVA is dissolved, leaving zero twist cotton yarns. The yarn is 30% lighter than what it appears and more bulky, hence giving you a softer handle than conventional towels. These towels dry faster, which saves energy.
