What does "zero-twist" mean in a towel?
Zero-twist towels are spun without tightly twisting the yarn, so each cotton-soft loop stays open and upright. The result is a towel that feels loftier and more plush against the skin, and absorbs more readily, than a conventionally twisted towel.
Are zero-twist bamboo towels more absorbent than cotton?
Yes. Bamboo fiber is naturally moisture-wicking, and the open zero-twist loops draw water in faster. Together they make this towel highly absorbent yet quick-drying — closer to a spa towel than a standard bathroom one.
How heavy is this towel?
It's woven in a luxurious 600 GSM (grams per square meter) weight. That places it firmly in plush, hotel-quality territory: substantial and cushioned in the hand, without feeling stiff or heavy.
Is the bamboo towel safe for sensitive skin?
It is. The towel is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 (cert #17.HUS.08214), meaning it has been tested free of harmful substances. Bamboo fiber is also naturally soft and gentle, making it a comfortable choice for sensitive or delicate skin.
How do I wash and care for it?
Machine wash warm, up to 104°F / 40°C, with similar colors. Tumble dry low. For deeper cleaning, an occasional hot wash is safe. Avoid fabric softener, which coats the loops and reduces absorbency over time.
Does the bamboo towel shed or stay soft after washing?
Like all quality towels it may release a little lint in the first few washes, then settles. The zero-twist construction is designed to keep that cloud-soft feel wash after wash rather than matting down.
What size is the towel and what's included?
Each order is one bath towel in ivory, in our 600 GSM bamboo zero-twist weave — a generous, wrap-around bath size for everyday luxury.
