Why Your Bath Towel Has Lines — And What They’re Really For
Bath towels are something we use every day, yet most of us never think twice about how they’re made. One detail you might’ve noticed? The lines woven into the fabric. While they may seem decorative, those lines actually serve a purpose—several, in fact. Behind what looks like a simple design lies some clever engineering aimed at making your towel more effective and long-lasting.
So, what’s the real reason towels have lines? Let’s take a closer look.
Lines That Do More Than Look Good
What might appear to be just a stylish touch is actually the result of purposeful weaving. The lines on a bath towel are often created to:
- Improve water absorption
- Maintain the towel’s shape
- Enhance airflow for quicker drying
- Give visual cues for folding and hanging neatly
These features all work together to make your towel not just attractive, but more functional and durable over time.
