Parts of Conventional Terry Towel



A woven Terry towel consists of five parts. These are the Hem, Terry Bar, Border, Body(Terry), selvedge. Every towel does not have to contain all of these parts. The pile area is considered the toweling part of the towel.  The beginning and end sections are the tightly woven areas of a towel which come before or after the pile fabric part and prevent this pile area from unraveling.  The selvage contains fewer number of warp end s than the pile area, woven without pile as a flat weave and has the purpose to reinforce the towel sides. Hem at the beginning and end of the towel stitched with two fold. Border mainly used for decorative purpose.
