Tissu éponge

The Terry weave (popularly known as terry cloth or terry toweling) is a highly absorbent, three-dimensional pile structure characterized by thousands of protruding, uncut loops on one or both sides of the fabric. This complex geometry is engineered on specialized looms utilizing two separate warp beams under different tensions. The ground warp is held at high tension to form a sturdy, flat base fabric, while the pile warp is kept loose. As the loom beats the weft threads, the loosely tensioned pile threads buckle and pull forward, forming dense, upright loops.

Each uncut loop acts like a microscopic sponge, dramatically increasing the surface area of the cloth to trap and absorb vast amounts of water. This makes Terry weave the premier choice for bath towels, robes, beachwear, sweatbands, and reusable baby diapers. Typically woven from 100% cotton to maximize absorption, polyester is sometimes blended in the ground to add tensile strength and dry-time efficiency.
