what is meant by Terry?

Question

This is with regards to towels and their quality.

Answer 1

This is an odd question for the book and authors section. However "Terry" refers to the texture of the towel.

In general it is a fabric with loops that can absorb large amounts of water. It can be manufactured by weaving or knitting, with weaving on a dobby loom the predominant commercial method, having two beams of longitudinal warp through which the filler or weft is fired laterally.
