How to judge the quality of a towel?

1. Material and Fiber Characteristics

Towels made with natural long-staple cotton or high-count yarn have finer fibers, better softness, and superior absorbency.

Small fiber content deviation and high yarn count (e.g., 32-count, 40-count) enhance the towel's fluffiness and durability.

2. Weaving Process and Stitch Density

Edge stitches should be neat, with moderate stitch spacing, avoiding skipped stitches or loose threads. Dense stitches are key to a towel's durability.

Uniform loop size and length, no exposed yarn, no skipped threads, and a smooth, clean surface indicate strict control over the weaving process.

3. Absorbency and Colorfastness

High-quality towels, in a water droplet test, do not easily roll off, absorb water quickly, and maintain absorbency even after multiple washes.

Uniform color and good colorfastness, with no significant fading or color difference after washing, meeting national standards for colorfastness.

4. Shedding Rate and Surface Treatment

Low shedding rate is an important indicator of towel comfort and lifespan. High-quality towels shed almost no fibers after hand-rubbing or rubbing.

Professional testing (such as GB/T 22864-2020) confirms that the shedding rate meets the qualified standard, ensuring product safety and hygiene.
