Canadian families are washing an estimated 2 loads of laundry a week per person.
A family of 4 is then looking at somewhere between 7-8 loads of laundry for the same time frame, for an average of 364 – 416 loads a year!
Unlike your typical household cotton, Turkish cotton becomes softer, fluffier, and more absorbentwith successive washings. Yeah, you did read that right. More use makes it better. Sound the horns!
Unlike terry cloth, which becomes scratchier over time (think: your average bath towel!), Turkish cotton becomes softer.
Premium, darling.
Compared to the short fibres of regular cotton, the ESL component of Turkish cotton yields longer threads.
Longer threads mean a more durable weave with fewer joins/seams, producing a smoother fabric. Ooo la la.
For those of us not too keen on replacing our towels too frequently, Turkish cotton is the thread for you! Buy less - make it last. Its fibrous integrity renders the material long-lasting, meaning it’s truly worth your long-term investment! If you agree, sounds like you also have a slow & circular fashion mentality, too.
Convenience is your friend! Turkish cotton is pretty friendly, too.
The fibres of Turkish cotton dry best when not exposed to excessive heat - so there’s no need for a machine tumble! In fact - we don’t recommend putting them in the dryer.
And hanging to dry uses less energy (take THAT energy bill!)
Because of its rapid drying capabilities, you’re able to use your Turkish towel again sooner, avoiding the dampness that regular cotton towels hold onto for longer. Our Turkish cotton towels wick away moisture, while terry absorbs the moisture.
We’re happy to say we specialize in premium Turkish towels! We design them in Canada. Fairly-traded direct from our independent Turkish artisans for you.
