Contents

Structure

The fabric has small geometric patterns and extra texture. It has a plain, rough pebbled surface. [5]

Huckaback

Blended huck towels are made by keeping warp in cotton and weft in linen. Huckaback [6] is a weave in which the weft yarns are of a relatively lower count, and they are loosely twisted (softly spun), making a floating and absorbing weave. [2] It is woven on a dobby loom that has a mechanism for weaving geometric patterns. The huck cloth has good absorbency hence suitable for towels. [1] [7] [8]

Swedish weave

Huck weave is a fabric used for an embellishment technique called Swedish weaving or huck weaving that became popular in mid 20th century. [9]

Use

Terry, the piled fabrics, and huck are preferred cloths for towels. [5] [7] [10] [11]
