A Little Education on Terry
So what exactly is terrycloth, and how is it made? We’re always eager to educate our customers, so let us present you with a little bit of information on this wonderful material:
A Cloth of Many Loops
Terrycloth is differentiated from other types of fabrics by the many loops that make up its surface. These loops are responsible for absorbing moisture, making the fabric ideal for keeping you dry and comfortable after a shower or a dip in the pool. How much water is absorbed is determined by the length of these loops, with the longest providing the most efficient function.
The Dobby Loom
Terrycloth is made of either cotton or a cotton polyester blend. The loops are made on what is known as a “dobby” loom, which is a special structure that creates the perfect amount of thread tension. The dobby loom is responsible for helping to create the soft, plush texture we come to associate with a high quality terrycloth robe or towel.
Warping and Weaving
Threads are woven using two warp beams, with one forming the base and the other used to create the loops that give terry its texture. Applying a warp and weave technique, latitudinal threads known as filler are woven under and over longitudinally places threads to make the finished fabric. When the filler is pressed down, the slack that results is what is responsible for making more loops, which ultimately wicks away excess moisture.
Bleaching and Dying
Terry can also be knit, but at Boca Terry we prefer to use a state-of-the-art weaving process in order to produce the sumptuous robes that exemplifies our brand. Often after the fabric is created, it is then bleached white by using a hydrogen peroxide based chemical. It can also be dyed after this process if color is desired.
Retaining Its Appeal Through Time
Industrial terrycloth has been manufactured since mid 1800’s and still retains its appeal through its incredible durability and practicality. We have been creating robes since we opened our doors in 1996, constantly evolving and perfecting our products in order to bring our clients the absolute best.
A Wide Variety of Styles
Terrycloth robes can be made in a wide variety of styles, with one just as classic as the next. Our elegant shawl collar with roll up sleeves and sumptuously deep pockets is a popular standard with many of our hotel, spa, resort, casino, and hospital clients. The svelte kimono style with its lean silhouette creates an infallible elegance for any body type, male or female. And then there is our famous hooded terry robe that keeps the wearer toasty from the top of the head to the tip of the toes. With double belt loops on all of our robes that allow for waist height adjustment, and a convenient loop on the inside of the neck for easy hanging, our robes are in constant demand for their quality and design.
