The thickness, weight, size and colour of a towel are personal choices, but there are several factors that contribute towards a "good" towel. Good towels are made with a fine quality yarn, and if those yarns are combed they boast softness and absorbency too. The towel should be made with a strong ground that firmly anchors the terry loops to prevent snags, and coupled with a twisted terry pile makes for a stronger towel. Choosing a towel that's Oeko-tex certified lets you know that the dyes are safe too.
Look for accreditation on the materials used; this means the fibres are traceable and certified by governing associations such as Supima or the Egyptian Cotton Association.
