ABSTRACT:
A terry fabric and method of forming a terry fabric are provided in which a ground fabric is formed of ground yarns while terry yarns are interlaced with the ground yarns to form terry loops with a height substantially greater than normal (a terry yarn length greater than 4.25 inches per linear inch of ground fabric), the terry yarns being formed of singles yarns plied together with a ply twist lower than normal (ply twist lower than seven (7) turns per inch) and the singles yarns having a lower than normal twist multiple (less than 3.75). The terry fabric is partially mercerized during finishing to soften the fabric, a softener is applied of no more than about 0.4% by weight and a wetting agent is also applied to increase even further the rate of absorbency thereof.
