Those lines on your bath towel aren’t just there for decoration—they’re the result of sophisticated weaving techniques developed to optimize performance.
The secret lies in something called the dobby weave, which creates those characteristic ridges. This special weaving method makes the towel more absorbent by creating extra surface area to trap water molecules. The lines also help distribute moisture evenly across the fabric rather than letting it pool in one spot.
Manufacturers didn’t stop there—the borders use an even tighter weave to reinforce the edges where towels typically wear out first. This attention to detail is why quality towels last so much longer than cheap ones.
