HOW TO:
RETIE YOUR TURKISH
TOWEL TASSELS
Like all pieces meant to last a lifetime, your Turkish towel will need proper care and a little loving maintenance from time to time. Here we share how to regularly care for your pieces, and we address some common Turkish towel issues that are easily repaired at home so it can serve you for a lifetime.For our Turkish Towels we strongly encourage a pre-soak in cold water for 4-6 hours followed by a cold-water wash and line dry. Tumble dry on a delicate setting is also fine and will assist in the ‘breaking in’ of your towels. Please note, dryer usage can often contribute to a slight shrinkage of cotton and linen textiles so keep heat to a delicate setting.
