Abstract
A quick-dry textured towel is disclosed. The quick-dry textured towel comprises a lightweight fabric including a plurality of low-twist pile yarns forming a textured weave design.
Claims13
A quick dry towel, comprising:
- a woven ground fabric comprising:
- a plurality of warp yarns substantially parallel to each other,
- a plurality of weft yarns substantially parallel to each other and intersecting the plurality of warp yarns such that the plurality of weft yarns are substantially perpendicular to the plurality of warp yarns;
- a plurality of pile weave portions extending from the woven ground fabric;
- a plurality of flat weave portions alternating between the pile weave portions to form a diagonal design extending across a substantial portion of the towel,
- wherein the pile weave portions comprise:
- terry loop yarns raised above the woven ground fabric to form terry loops where the loop is substantially wider the terry loop yarn, and
- the terry loop yarns comprise zero twist yarns;
- such that a fabric weight of the towel is less than 350 g/m2.
