Are most towels made from terry? edit
Are most towels made from this terry cloth? -- Michael Janich (talk) 06:07, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
- My instinct says yes, since I've never seen anything else, but I don't have any facts on the matter. - C A W (talk) 02:26, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- In the 1930's, 40's, maybe 50's (luxury) bath towels were cotton terry; hand towels and particularly kitchen towels were a heavy, loose, cotton flat weave with almost the same absorbtion properties, possibly waffle fabric. I believe these are still common in India. Only terrycloth towels are currently available in the U.S. 71.230.16.111 (talk) 04:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Where in the US is that said? - C A W (talk) 02:26, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
cotton or other fiber? edit
Shouldn't it mention what fiber terrycloth is usually made from? I'm assuming terry refers to the loopiness, not the fiber content.KannD86 (talk) 23:26, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. The Italian entry seems to have a better (clearer) picture, plus an interesting technical diagram. You may want to integrate it here. Thanks. 110.67.148.4 (talk) 03:09, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
