摘要 |
A pile towel construction having quick-dry properties and good absorption characteristics is described. The towel includes a substantially all-cotton pile and a ground fabric which includes moisture-transporting polyester fibers. The towel desirably includes from about 10% to about 50% moisture-transporting polyester fibers. In one embodiment of the invention, the moisture-transporting fibers are provided in only one set of the ground fabric-forming yarns, such as the weft, while the other set of yarns forming the ground fabric is made from conventional polyester and/or cotton. In another form of the invention, the ground fabric is formed from substantially 100% moisture-transporting polyester fibers, while the pile is substantially all-cotton.
