Turkish Waffle Hand Towel

The waffle weave increases the surface area of the fabric, which allows it to absorb moisture more efficiently than a flat-weave towel. While it feels lighter and less bulky than traditional terry cloth, it is highly effective at drying hands quickly.

Like most 100% cotton textiles, some minor shrinkage is normal after the first wash. To maintain the integrity of the waffle texture, we recommend washing in cool water and tumble drying on a low heat setting.

No, the waffle weave is designed to be soft and gentle. While it has a distinct, tactile texture that provides a light exfoliating feel, it remains comfortable and plush against the skin.

The waffle weave is generally more resistant to snagging than looped terry cloth because it lacks the long, loose threads that typically catch on objects. However, as with any woven cotton product, it is best to avoid contact with sharp edges.

Because of the open, grid-like structure of the waffle weave, air circulates through the fabric much faster than in dense, plush towels. This allows it to dry significantly quicker, which helps prevent that lingering damp smell in humid bathrooms.
