What is terry?

Terry cloth is a woven fabric that has uncut loops on the pile. It is made with two sets of warp yarns, where one set is under very little tension. When the weft, or filling, yarns are packed into place, these loose yarns are pushed backward along with the filling yarns and loops are formed. Because of its high absorbency, it is commonly used for towels, bathrobes and cloth diapers.

Our Customers Say ...

"Customer service is exceptional and very attentive. I was updated on all parts of the ordering process via email messages. Plus, I had chosen a faster, more expensive shipping method (UPS 3 day), but they wrote and told me it was faster and cheaper to send via UPS Ground because of my location. Highly recommend this store and will definitely shop here again!"
