Woven from Turkish cotton muslin, the cloth is open and layered rather than looped, so it offers the coverage of a bath sheet without the weight or bulk of terry. A fine crinkle runs across the surface, catching the light in a pale mineral grey that sits quietly against stone and white tile. It dries by contact, then dries itself within the hour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 14px; opacity: .75; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eGenerously cut bath sheet · 36 × 67 in · 295 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e9e3da;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"list-style: none; cursor: pointer;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; gap: 12px; padding: 13px 2px; font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe weave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"opacity: .4; font-weight: 400; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px; padding: 0 2px; line-height: 1.75;\"\u003eMuslin is woven loosely and finished so the layers move independently, which is where the airiness comes from. Less material in contact with water means it never turns heavy, and it releases moisture into the room quickly instead of holding on to it. Absorbency comes from surface area rather than depth of pile — this is a cloth that blots rather than soaks. At roughly 193 g\/m² Altea is the lightest towel we make, about a third lighter than our Airy Aegean muslin, and you feel that the moment you pick it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0 0 18px; padding: 0 2px; list-style: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 6px 0; line-height: 1.5; opacity: .8;\"\u003eCrinkled muslin weave, hand-knotted fringe at both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e9e3da;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"list-style: none; cursor: pointer;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; gap: 12px; padding: 13px 2px; font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"opacity: .4; font-weight: 400; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px; padding: 0 2px; line-height: 1.75;\"\u003eSize is what makes it versatile. Spread across a lounger it covers the whole seat; folded once it serves as a beach blanket for two; over a shoulder it goes to the pool and back without looking like laundry. At home, keep one on a hook by the outdoor shower or rolled into a basket for summer guests. It packs to a fraction of what a terry bath sheet takes in a carry-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e9e3da;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"list-style: none; cursor: pointer;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; gap: 12px; padding: 13px 2px; font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood to know\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"opacity: .4; font-weight: 400; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 2px 2px 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 15px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"display: block; margin-bottom: 3px;\"\u003eIs it absorbent enough to replace a terry towel?\u003c\/strong\u003eFor most people, yes. Muslin blots rather than soaks — it lifts water off the skin on contact instead of storing it in a pile. What it gives up in reservoir it returns in drying time and in how little it weighs on the rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 15px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"display: block; margin-bottom: 3px;\"\u003eDoes it soften with use?\u003c\/strong\u003eIt arrives soft and keeps going. Laundering opens the weave further and brings out more of the crinkle, so the cloth grows airier and more pliable across the first several cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"display: block; margin-bottom: 3px;\"\u003eHow fast does it dry?\u003c\/strong\u003eQuickly, which is the main argument for muslin. With so little bulk holding water, it clears a rail or a chair back in roughly an hour outdoors — handy for a pool house or a shared summer bathroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 22px 0 0; font-size: 13.5px; opacity: .7; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003ePrefer a woven stripe?
