You won't see the difference in the store, but you will notice it after a year: a single thread frays and the loops flatten, making the towel feel thinner and less absorbent.

With regular cotton, those fibers are short, which means many loose ends stick out of the thread. That causes pilling, and it eventually feels rough.

You won't see the difference in the store, but you will notice it after a year: a single thread frays and the loops lie flat, making the towel feel thinner and less absorbent. Two twisted threads stay upright.

With regular cotton, those fibers are short, which means many loose ends stick out of the thread. That causes lint, and it feels rough after a while. Egyptian cotton has longer fibers, so there are fewer loose ends per thread. The result is a smoother and stronger thread: soft from the first wash, and it holds its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe weave directly with our weaver in \u003cstrong\u003eEgypt\u003c\/strong\u003e, without intermediaries.
