Weight: ~400 g (14.1 oz) About the Abbas Turkish Towel — Uses, Sizes & Care ▾ A narrow navy-charcoal ticking stripe on off-white cotton and linen — the most classic pattern we weave, and the one that goes with everything. The Abbas is the towel you buy when you do not want the towel to be a decision. Why a peshtemal instead of a terry towel Dries much faster. A flat weave carries far less water than looped terry, so it is dry again before the next shower. Packs flat. Around a quarter of the bulk of a terry bath sheet — it disappears into a beach bag or hand luggage. Sand does not cling. No pile means grit brushes straight off. Softens with use. The linen breaks in rather than wearing out, and the weave opens up to absorb more. One towel, several jobs At 37'' x 73'' it is a full bath sheet for one adult and long enough to cover a sun lounger. The quiet stripe means it also works as a beach blanket, a picnic throw, a sofa cover or a table runner without looking out of place. Care Wash before first use to set the weave. Cool wash, tumble dry low, no bleach and no fabric softener — softener coats cotton and linen and reduces the absorbency you bought it for. Shake the fringe while damp so it dries straight. Woven on traditional looms in Antioch, Turkey.
