A towel is thicker than a pestamel. 99.9% of the towels made around the world today are made on shuttleLESS factory machines. They last approximately 5-7 years and are usually made with non-organic cotton or even worse, non-natural materials like acrylic, viscose and polyester fibres.
Jennifer's Hamam Towels
At Jennifer's Hamam, we only sell towels woven on old-style looms with shuttles. The strength and integrity of the towel is far superior to its factory of Vamatex counter-part and will last 20+ years using a dryer and 30+ years if they are hung to dry. In cotton, We use only the top quality, organic certified, Turkish cotton from the centre of the ball. Also available are an array of Turkish linen, Turkish bamboo and even Turkish silk towels.
There are three families left in all of Turkey who still know how to do this looping technique on old-style looms that create the thicker towels. It is our aim to help save this art and provide our clients with a best towel they can find in the world.
