Cotton terry fabric is an extremely absorbent and soft material, consisting of looped pile on the front side, and sheared pile on the back. Gaining prominence in the late 19th Century, terry cloth is a fabric geared towards rest and relaxation. Used extensively for bathrobes, slippers and towels, the superb absorbency and light touch of the material make it extremely popular.
Cotton terry is a very durable fabric, both machine washable and dryable.
