And Why It Matters When You’re Buying Towels

Have you ever looked at a bath towel and wondered, “What are these lines for?”
Are they just for decoration, or do they mean something?

Good news those lines do have a purpose. And if you’re shopping for new towels for your home, gym, or guests, understanding those lines can help you pick better, longer-lasting towels.

Let’s break it down in simple words and show you how Dan-River.com makes it easy to choose the right towels for everyday use.

1. Why Do Towels Have Lines?

Those lines on towels are not just there to look nice.
They usually help with one or more of these things:

• 🧵 Keeping the towel in shape – Lines stitched near the edges stop the towel from stretching or falling apart after many washes.

• ✋ Giving a better grip – Some towels have textured lines or borders that make them easier to hold.

• 💧 Helping with absorbency – Certain lines are placed where the towel needs to soak up more water, like the middle section.

• 🧺 Making folding easier – Some hotels use center lines so staff can fold towels faster and neater.

So next time you notice those lines, know that they help make your towel work better for drying, folding, and lasting longer.

2. Decorative Lines vs. Useful Lines

At first glance, all towel lines may look the same. But here’s how to tell the difference:

• Decorative lines: These are mostly for style. They add a nice design to your towel, making it look more elegant in your bathroom.

• Functional lines: These are stitched or woven to add strength, grip, or absorbency.

At Dan-River.com, many of our bath towels are designed with both style and purpose. Our border lines look great and help your towels stay strong even after many washes.
