Fibre: Cotton and some linen. Weave: Pile, also jacquard and dobby combined with pile. Characteristics: Either all over loops on both sides of the fabric or patterned loops on both sides. Formed with an extra warp yarn. Long wearing, easy to launder and requires no ironing. May be bleached, dyed, or printed. Better qualities have a close, firm, underweave, with very close loops. Very absorbent, and the longer the loop, the greater the absorbency. When the pile is only on one side, it is called "Turkish toweling". Uses: Towels, beachwear, bathrobes, all kinds of sportswear, children's wear, slip covers, andwww.ntgi.net/ICCF&D/cotton.htm
