The Coyuchi Cloud Loom Towel is really great! I have tried several but this is my favorite. Organic Turkish Cotton mixed with a few diffent organic cottons from that area. 750 gsm perfect weight . It has longer no twist loops and is extremely absorbent. Feels great drying off. The towel is softer the first few times before washing until the probable factory softness is washed out but that is all ok it is still very soft and is a wonderful towel. Just make sure with a quality towel like this you use a light detergent like heritage park luxury all purpose detergent. Wash on gentle or permanent press. Never use bleach only Oxy clean bleach alternative . Wash on warm or cold . Never too hot and never dry on hot either only ultra low or low. too hot will ruin the fibers of the towel . And fabric softener is not necessary or good.it destroys the towels fibers and absorbency . Just use 1/2 cup to 1 cup white vinegar to bring out the softness .this is a great luxury towel just take care of it. Great quality great feeling and not too heavy. Perfect Spa Towel !If from time to time there are a few loose threads that happens it doesn’t affect the integrity of the towel it’s expected just trim it with scissors any loose threads. I’ve never had a problem with this. It’s my favorite towel!
