Terry Loop Fabric: What It Is and How to Source It Sustainably

Terry loop fabric, commonly known as toweling or terry cloth, is a soft, highly absorbent textile prized in towels, bathrobes, and loungewear. Its signature looped surface makes it both functional and comfortable. This guide explores what terry fabric is, how it is made, and why it matters for sustainable sourcing.

What Is Terry Loop Fabric?

Terry fabric is a knit or woven textile with raised loops on one or both sides. These loops dramatically increase surface area, making the fabric highly absorbent and soft to the touch. Terry knit, produced on circular knitting machines, offers greater stretch and flexibility than traditional woven terry.
