What is a Turkish Towel and what makes is a perfect choice?
A Turkish towel, also known as a peshtemal or hammam towel, is a traditional towel originating from Turkey. It’s typically made from cotton or a cotton-linen blend, woven in a flat, lightweight style with a distinctive texture. Unlike the plush, thick terrycloth towels common in many places, Turkish towels are thinner, often featuring stripes or subtle patterns, and are finished with hand-knotted fringes. FineGrid is committed to offer only the finest Turkish Towels which are slow-produced in small batches by local artisans in Turkey. FineGrid Turkish towels are hand-loomed with traditional techniques, which not only enhances their quality but also gives them a unique texture that adds to their appeal. Carefully selected colors and patterns make FineGrid Turkish Towels a luxurious yet practical choice for a wide range of uses.
Their lightweight and thin construction allows them to dry much faster than conventional towels, making them practical for travel, beach trips, or humid environments where mold or mildew might be a concern.
They take up less space than bulky towels, easily folding or rolling into a small size—perfect for packing in a suitcase, gym bag, or beach tote.
Despite their thinness, Turkish towels are surprisingly absorbent due to the long fibers of Turkish cotton (often extra-long staple cotton), which soak up water efficiently.
Beyond drying off, they double as sarongs, picnic blankets, scarves, throws, or even wraps, thanks to their stylish designs and soft texture.
They get softer and more absorbent with each wash, unlike some towels that wear out or stiffen.
Made with natural fibers and requiring less water and energy to produce or launder compared to thicker towels, they’re a sustainable choice.
