Weavers Cardiff Towelling - Navy

The deepest colour in the range, and the least forgiving to fake.

Navy is hard to get right in towelling. Dye it badly and it goes patchy at the folds within a season. Cardiff navy is reactive dyed, which bonds the colour to the fibre itself rather than sitting on the surface, and that is what keeps it consistent across the whole set and through repeated washing.

The pile is 100% ring spun soft combed cotton, and combing is the step that makes the difference. The short fibres and impurities are combed out of the cotton before spinning, leaving a longer, stronger strand. That is why a combed cotton towel stays soft through its life instead of turning scratchy, and why it absorbs so readily.

There are no herringbone borders. Border strips shrink at a different rate to the body of a towel, which is what pulls the edges in and leaves you with something that will not fold flat. Without them, the towel keeps its shape and stacks square on the shelf.

The colour is reactive dyed, which bonds the dye to the fibre rather than coating it, giving better colour consistency across the range and through repeated washing. The hems are double stitched, which is where towels usually start to fray.

The towels come in at 490gsm, thick enough to feel generous without taking all day on the line, and the bath mat is 687gsm for a denser, more absorbent step out of the shower.

Care Instructions

Hot wash up to 60°C before first use. This gives the towel its initial shrinkage, sets the tensile strength of the fibres and removes any loom residue or oils.
