It is the towel to buy when the bathroom is already doing enough — it disappears against timber, plaster and stone rather than competing with them. Why a peshtemal instead of a terry towel Dries in a fraction of the time. A flat weave carries far less water than looped terry, so it air-dries between uses rather than sitting damp on the rail. Folds to almost nothing. Roughly a quarter of the bulk of a terry bath sheet — it fits hand luggage, a gym bag or a beach basket without filling it. Sand and grit brush off. There is no pile for them to work into. Improves with washing. Linen breaks in rather than wearing out, and the weave opens up to absorb more with every cycle. Three ways to buy it Bath/Beach 37'' x 73'' — a full bath sheet for one adult, long enough to cover a sun lounger. Hand/Hair 23'' x 30'' — bathroom rail, kitchen, gym bag, or wrapped around wet hair. Bath & Hand Set — both sizes together, priced below the two bought separately. The straightforward way to do a whole bathroom in one colour. 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 works against the absorbency you bought it for. Shake the fringe while damp so it dries straight. Woven on traditional looms in Antioch, Turkey.
