terrycloth

Bathrobe fabric choice

Terrycloth is a fabric woven with loops that create a soft, absorbent pile.

The loops may be left intact or cut for a velvet-like texture.

Most towels and bathrobes are made of terrycloth because the loops trap water efficiently: She wrapped herself in a terrycloth robe after the shower.
