Preparation and Care Instructions - thick looped towels

1st time:  soak in cold water for 24 hours and hang to drip dry***

- if you don't have a place to hang to dry or would like to speed up the process, you can put them in the spin cycle of the washer, then into the dryer.

***BE SURE that the towel is completely saturated with water; you may have to use your hands to squish the towel and really work the water into the fibres; by doing so the cotton can learn how to be absorbent much quicker.

Colourful or white towels can take upto 2-3 soaks and a few washes before they are fully absorbent. Ecru, which is the natural colour of the cotton and more raw than colourful or white, may need 3-4 soaks and a few washes before they become fully absorbent.

Teaching your cotton how to be absorbent is not an exact science, it's just water, time, and patience.  If your towels seem to be extra stubborn, it may be that your water is very hard; add a 1/2 cup of clear vinegar into the soaking/washing water to assist in softening the water.
