Also called Hammam towels, Turkish towels are much lighter in weight and faster drying than standard bath towels but even more absorbent and durable. Weighing only a third of what typical terry towels would, they are easy to store and transport; you could even take this to the gym. The beautiful, fringed textile art can also be worn as a scarf. The flat weave, as opposed to the conventional loop/pile construction, also makes them less likely to trap allergens. The 100% cotton is machine washable, and it will only become softer with each wash. These Turkish towels celebrate the 50 year anniversary of Annika Rimala’s Tasaraita (Even Stripe) pattern. The pattern was first featured on unisex shirts, and half a century later, still serves as a symbol of equality for the Finnish brand Marimekko. Their neutral colorway of cream and black is contrasted by a pop of green, perfect for welcoming the lush life that will soon spring up. The packaging comes with a special sticker commemorating the anniversary of this pro-equality pattern.
Care: Machine washable. Follow instructions on tag.

very nice, I like the way it hangs. It is large and quickly absorbs water from hands and face. It has a soft texture and washes very well. I like the fact that it is different from the terry cloth feeling and weight.
