Jokipiin Pellava in Finland weaves this unique linen terry cloth from linen and cotton. Due to its high linen content of 70%, it has a massaging effect and is therefore particularly well-suited for use in the sauna. The light-colored towel is solid in off-white. The “Black-Natural” color variant features a slightly darker shade due to the use of black cotton twine in the weft. Unbleached, undyed cotton twine is used in the warp, and undyed, unbleached linen yarn is used in the loop warp.

Genuine terry cloth is a three-thread looped fabric (comprising warp, weft, and loop), which, due to its third (loop) thread, is much more voluminous and absorbent than the two-thread terry cloth (warp and weft only), which merely resembles terry cloth.

We specify yarn fineness in Nm (metric number), where the higher the number, the finer the yarn. A yarn fineness of Nm 100 means that 100 meters of yarn weigh 1 gram. An additional number is added if the yarn is twisted from multiple single yarns; for example, Nm 100/3 for a yarn made from three single yarns.
