To maintain the quality of your Turkish towel, it is recommended to machine wash it in cold water with like colors. Hang drying or tumble drying on low is advised to preserve its softness and fluffiness. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric. If you notice a pull in your towel, simply cut the loop; it will not unravel, ensuring your towel remains intact.
Originally used in Turkish baths, Turkish towels, also known as peshtamels or hammam towels, have a rich history. They are traditionally hand-loomed in Turkey, particularly in the Denizli region, where small family-owned workshops continue to uphold this ancient craft. The weaving process utilizes extra-long, tightly woven fibers, resulting in a lightweight yet highly absorbent towel.
The artisans take pride in their work, using eco-friendly, OEKO-TEX certified natural fibers such as cotton and bamboo. The vibrant patterns and colors are achieved through non-harmful dyes, reflecting the timeless heritage of Anatolian culture. The tassels are hand-knotted by women in their homes, adding a personal touch to each towel.
