Slowtide Dylan Turkish Blanket

No, the Dylan is a lightweight chambray blanket, not a padded mat. It is designed to be a soft, breathable layer between you and the sand or grass rather than a cushion for rocky terrain.

The tight, flat weave of the chambray fabric is excellent at resisting sand. Unlike plush terry towels that trap grit in their loops, sand tends to shake off this blanket quite easily.

Yes, at 66 inches by 80 inches, it is quite generous. It comfortably fits two adults lying down or a small group of three to four people sitting for a picnic.

The fringe is durable, but it can tangle if washed loosely. We recommend placing the blanket inside a mesh laundry bag or washing it on a gentle cycle to keep the edges looking clean and intact.

While it is made of 100% cotton, the chambray weave is thinner and less absorbent than a traditional terry cloth towel. It works best as a base layer for lounging rather than for drying off after a swim.
