• EcoKnit® Towels do not have Differential Shrinkage
  (+ show details)

  EcoKnit® towels resist differential shrinkage, which is what causes traditional woven towels to become misshapen and hang awkwardly.

  Better presentation wherever it is, means better presentation of your brand.

• EcoKnit® Technology reduces traditional bleaching problems
  (+ show details)

  Traditional towels suffer from excessive use of bleach which weakens the base construction, tears and holes form in the body of the towels leading to wastage and increased costs.

  EcoKnit® Towels with their polyester base are unaffected by bleach and therefore reduce the risk of weakening the fabric and thus incurring tears and holes in the body of the towels, thereby making your product last longer and significantly reducing your replacement costs.

  Traditional towels, have a 50/50 split of weight in the pile to base construction. 50% of their weight is in the pile and the other 50% remains in the base in order to retain pile retention (prevent the loops been pulled out).

  EcoKnit® Towels have 80% of the overall weight of the towel in the pile thereby giving guests a longer, softer pile which provides a more luxurious feel. More cotton in the pile also gives better absorption! Independent tests show EcoKnit has 30% better absorption and in abrasive tests EcoKnit pile lasted 30,000 cycles compared to 15,000 in a standard 100% cotton product of the same weight.

  On average our pile height is 6mm across our qualities.
