What fabric are they made from?
✓ Microfibre at 410 GSM
Each towel is made from microfibre with a weight of 410 grams per square metre (GSM). High GSM gives the towel extra bulk, absorbency, and durability compared with lightweight cloths, while still drying quickly between uses.
✓ Why microfibre
Microfibre is made from very fine synthetic fibres that lift and trap water and grime efficiently without leaving lint. Absorbs up to 7 times its weight in water and dries around 4 times faster than cotton, which helps prevent damp smells between uses.
What size are they and how are they made?
✓ Dimensions and construction
Size: 60 by 40 cm per towel, both weaves identical.
Stitching: reinforced edges to hold up to daily use and repeated machine washing.
Reusable: designed to replace disposable paper towels for years of use.
What weaves are in the pack?
Each 2-pack contains one waffle weave and one diamond weave. Same fabric and size, different surface textures. For which weave to use for which job, see Waffle vs diamond weave: which Tea Towel do I use?
✓ Waffle weave (dark)
Textured surface with raised squares. Same 410 GSM microfibre as the diamond weave, woven to a different pattern.
✓ Diamond weave (light)
Smoother, tighter finish with a fine diamond pattern. Same 410 GSM microfibre as the waffle weave, woven flatter.
