At 36\" x 22\", it is generously sized for a hand towel: large enough to be truly useful in the kitchen or bathroom, beautiful enough to be left out on display. The hand-knotted fringe edges are tied by women in their homes — each knot placed by hand, each tassel a small signature of the person who made it. Available in five timeless colors: Black, Beige, Navy, Wine, and Cobalt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHang it in the kitchen. Hang it in the bathroom. Fold it over a towel bar, drape it over a hook, lay it on a guest bathroom counter. Wherever it goes, the classic stripe and the hand-knotted fringe give it a quiet, timeless elegance that works in any home, with any style, in any season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Artisans of Denizli, Turkey\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDenizli is a city in southwestern Turkey, nestled in the fertile Aegean hinterland, and it is one of the most celebrated textile centers in the world. The weavers of Denizli have been producing Turkish towels — known as \u003cem\u003epeshtamels\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003ehammam towels\u003c\/em\u003e — for centuries, originally for the great hammams (Turkish baths) that were the heart of social and civic life in Ottoman culture. The tradition is ancient and deeply personal: weaving is the primary livelihood of these skilled craftspeople, passed down through families in small workshops where the loom is as familiar as the kitchen table. The weavers of Denizli pride themselves on keeping the looming tradition alive — using manual craftsmanship, working with natural fibers, and producing towels of a quality that no industrial process has ever been able to match. The tassels on each towel are hand-knotted by women in their homes — a quiet, skilled work that is as much a part of the tradition as the weaving itself. When you hold a SLATE + SALT Turkish hand towel, you are holding the work of these hands: the weaver at the loom, the woman tying each fringe, the family workshop that has made this craft its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Art of Turkish Cotton Weaving\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurkish cotton is among the finest in the world — grown in the warm, fertile valleys of the Aegean and known for its extra-long fibers, which give it a strength, softness, and absorbency that shorter-fiber cottons cannot match. The peshtamel weaving tradition uses these long fibers in a tight, flat weave that produces a towel of remarkable properties: highly absorbent, yet lightweight and quick-drying — the opposite of the thick, heavy terry cloth towel that takes hours to dry on a hook. The flat weave also means the towel gets softer and fluffier with every wash and every use — not worn out, but broken in, the way the best natural textiles always are. The patterns — classic stripes, vibrant motifs — convey the timeless heritage of Anatolian culture, a visual language that has been woven into Turkish textiles for centuries. OEKO-TEX certified: made with non-harmful dyes and 100% natural fibers, safe for your home and your family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 36\" x 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% Turkish cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors: Black, Beige, Navy, Wine, Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-knotted fringe edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly absorbent, lightweight \u0026amp; quick-drying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGets softer \u0026amp; fluffier with every wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEKO-TEX certified — non-harmful dyes, 100% natural fibers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash cold, hang dry or tumble dry low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo bleach or fabric softener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you get a pull, simply cut the loop — it will not unravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade by family workshops in Denizli, Turkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant.\" — Proverbs 31:24\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC-SLATE + SALT","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":42761880502349,"sku":"DC-572604","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Beige","offer_id":42761880535117,"sku":"DC-305555","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy","offer_id":42761880567885,"sku":"DC-305554","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Wine","offer_id":42761880600653,"sku":"DC-305553","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cobalt","offer_id":42761880633421,"sku":"DC-305552","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/4042\/2477\/files\/handmade-hand-towels.jpg?v=1772988730","url":"https:\/\/christiandecorandmore.com\/products\/classic-turkish-hand-towel","provider":"Christian Decor and more","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
