Some towels have what are known as tread lines—those raised, textured lines you can feel. These aren’t just for grip. They’re woven into the fabric to:
- Reinforce the towel’s structure
- Reduce the chance of fraying
- Help the towel keep its thickness after repeated washing
- Tread lines add resilience while preserving the plush feel that makes a towel feel new, wash after wash.
What’s a Dobby Weave?
A common technique used in towel-making is the dobby weave, which creates those subtle geometric patterns or lines. This method does more than add visual interest—it actually strengthens the fabric. Towels woven with a dobby weave are:
More stable
Less prone to stretching or warping
Better at holding their shape over time
So if your towel always feels and looks like it just came out of the store, thank the dobby weave.
