Project Report on Terry Towels

TERRY TOWELS

Turkish  Towel  or Terry Towel is a fabric woven  with  Pile weave.   Pile weaves add variety to our fabrics.   These  fabrics are made by using additional werp or weft threads more often werp threads are added for economical production.  Terry is a term for pile  which is used to distinguish a variety or woven fabrics  on terryloom or handloom that are characterised by the formation  of loops  projecting  from  the  main body  of  the  fabric.   These additional  yarns  are inserted by use of comparatively  slack  & course material only.  There loops may be attained on either both sides  of fabric or the face side only.  The loops are formed  by insertion  of entra  series  of warpends in  a  fixed  order  of sequence.   The fabrics with uncut loops appearing on both  sides of  the fabric are known as "TERRY CLOTHS"  The uncut  loops  are fastened  into  the  basic plain or  Tunill  ground  weave.   The additional  pile yarns are usually course in structure &  loosely spun  so  as to cause maximum water  absorbency.   Additional  of these ends does not affect the basic weave.

Basically  towels  serve two purpose.  The major  one  being drying  &  the secondary one of decorating purposes.  In the old western  style   bedrooms,  linen damark  towels  with  elaborate coloured borders were hung behind the wash bowls against flowered wall  paper.  In present era our tastes have changed & our  ideas of  decor with them, but the decorative function of terry towels continues still.
