Specs & Special Care Dimensions: 74" x 35" Thread Gauge: Medium Weight Fiber: 100% Turkish Cotton "The Training Of The Peshtemal Towel" The loosening or "training" process requires a good soak in water for about 4-6 hours followed by a cold to warm wash and low tumble dry cycle. It is the soaking process that allows for the unprocessed threads to fully hydrate and plump up allowing for the initial absorbency of the towel. From this point, it will only get softer and more absorbent with each wash.
