What is terry cloth?
Terry cloth is a soft, very pleasant textile fabric made of cotton. What makes it special: Terrycloth consists of many loops that make the fabric voluminous and extremely absorbent. Terry cloth is available in different qualities. The longer the loops, the more liquid the fabric can absorb. Due to its excellent absorbency, terry cloth is ideal for home textiles such as towels or washcloths. Terrycloth is also particularly heat-insulating, making it a great material for baking gloves. A nice side effect: terrycloth does not need to be ironed.
