There are three types of yarns used (pl see section 8.1) in terry towel namely the ground warp yarn, the weft yarn and the pile yarn. Though the yarn parameters vary depending on the type towel but in most cases the Warp yarns are of carded 20/2 to 24/2 Ne count with 550 turns/metre. A ply yarn is preferred because of the tension being applied during weaving and subsequent processes. 20-30 ends/cm
Pile warp yarns are either carded or combed and count range is of 16/1 to 20/1 Ne, 240-255 tpi. Some times a ply yarn is also used. In most cases ring but some times rotor yarn is also used.
Wet yarn carded 16/1 or 20/1 Ne counts with 240-255 turns/metre twist and 15-25 picks/cm. Both ring and rotor yarns are used. The towel border is woven with better quality yarn as these yarns remains exposed most of the time while the weft in the pile area remains covered with the pile yarns.
