Why Aegean Cotton Makes A Better Towel.

Turkish bath towels made in Turkey using Aegean cotton are considered high quality for several reasons. Turkey has a long history of producing textiles and has developed advanced techniques for weaving and finishing fabrics. This expertise, combined with the country's access to high-quality cotton, means that Turkish towels are produced to a high standard.

The Benefits of Aegean Cotton

Overall, the combination of longer fibers, higher absorbency, softer texture, and brighter colors make Aegean cotton a highly desirable material for textile products, including towels.

	Longer fibers: Aegean cotton has longer fibers than other types of cotton, making it stronger and more durable. This means that products made with Aegean cotton, such as towels, can withstand more wear and tear over time.
	Higher absorbency: The longer fibers in Aegean cotton also make it more absorbent. This means that towels made with this type of cotton can absorb more water, making them ideal for use in the bath, shower, or at the beach.
	Softer texture: The longer fibers in Aegean cotton also create a softer texture, making it more comfortable against the skin. This is important for products like towels, which come into contact with the skin on a regular basis.
	Brighter colors: Aegean cotton is known for its ability to hold dye well, which means that products made with this cotton can be dyed in a wider range of colors and retain their brightness over time.

So... Egyptian or Aegean Cotton?

We are often asked which cotton yarn creates the best towel. Egyptian cotton and Aegean cotton are both well-known for their superior quality. They are highly sought after in the textile industry for use in bath towel collections.

Egyptian cotton has a slightly longer fiber length than Aegean cotton, making it stronger and more durable. Both constructions offer a  smoother, more lustrous finish, highly prized in luxury textiles. Aegean cotton is known for its softness. Egyptian cotton is also soft, its longer fibers make it slightly less plush than Aegean cotton.

Both are highly absorbent, which makes them a popular choice for towels and bathrobes. While Egyptian cotton has a slight edge in absorbency, Aegean cotton towels dry faster, so towels are less likely to harbor odor-causing bacteria after you bathe.

Egyptian cotton is generally more expensive than Aegean cotton due to its superior quality and limited availability. Aegean cotton is still high-quality cotton but is more widely available and less expensive than Egyptian cotton.

Egyptian cotton and Aegean cotton are considered among the best kinds of cotton in the world, and the choice between the two will depend on individual preferences. You cannot go wrong with either fabric.
