The muslin version uses finer yarn in an airier, crinkled gauze weave, so it is lighter, drapes more softly and dries faster than a classic peshtemal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it absorbent enough for bath use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The 100% Turkish cotton muslin absorbs water quickly despite its light weight and dries much faster than terry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill the crinkle texture wash out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The crinkle comes from the weave and the pre-washing, not from pressing. It relaxes slightly with use but stays part of the fabric's character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill the stripes fade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stripes are woven in with dyed yarns, not printed, so they do not peel or crack. Wash cold on a gentle cycle to keep them clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is this peshtemal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt measures 35 × 71 in (90 × 180 cm) plus the hand-twisted fringe, one piece per pack. That is larger than a standard US bath towel and big enough to wrap around the body or share on the sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a peshtemal and a towel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA peshtemal is a flat-woven Turkish cotton wrap with no terry loops, so it is thinner, lighter and quicker to dry than a terry towel. It is used as a beach towel, bath wrap or hammam towel and folds flat for travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore our full \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/peshtemal-towel\"\u003epeshtemal collection\u003c\/a\u003e or the whole \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/beach-towel\"\u003ebeach towel line\u003c\/a\u003e for more stripes and colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandwoven in Denizli, Turkey. 100% Turkish cotton muslin.
