TOWELS

Hotel Towels Material Quality

Fibers: Of course, the Pile yarn must be 100 % cotton for sure. The warp and weft yarn can be polycotton for longevity and less shrinkage. There is also micro cotton towels are preferred in hotels nowadays.

Yarn types are classified into 3 categories such as Combed, Carded or open-end yarn regarding the cotton fibers length.

Combed yarn is highly expensive to produce hotel towels. They can be preferable at suit or luxurious hotels. On the other hand, the open-end yarn has not enough fiber length and softness to weave a towel.

Most common pile yarn is carded yarn for industrial towels. That is the right yarn option to meet both quality and budget requirements for most hotels.

Yarn number is 16/1 single yarn or 20/2 double yarn for pile threads. which one is the best option for the hotels?

Single yarns enable high pile height to the towels and the towels become soft due to this high pile threads. On the other hand, the longevity of the high pile threads is less than the low pile threads( double yarn). There will be a pilling problem after several washing.

The best option is double yarn for hotel towels but the weight must be at least 480 gsm to reach enough pile heights.

Design of the Best Hotel Towels

Towels are produced by 2 different types of machines, Dobby or Jacquard.

Dobby machine has limited capacity to create a design in towels. For example, plain towels, vertical strıpes or up and down piles.

On the other hand, a Jacquard machine has no limit to creating designs in towels. It is possible to write a hotel name on it like ‘’ Hilton Hotel’’ Jacquard towels are expensive around 15 % than dobby towels.

Double pile yarn enables us to create the clearest design in sculpted hotel towels.

What are the Hotel Towel Colors?

Of course, hotel towels are 99 % in white colors in every country but there are some boutique hotels prefer to use colored hotel towels such as beige or grey in colors. That is absolutely normal but keep in your mind the colored towels must be vat dyed. That means washable at 90 degrees and it has a chlorine resistance. Otherwise, nobody will be happy with a washed at 40 or 60 degree and smelly towels.

Hotel Pool towels also mostly preferred by colored stripes. They have to be dyed by vat dying process to gain enough colorfastness.
