Turkish cotton muslin, open and layered rather than looped, gives the coverage of a bath sheet without the weight or bulk of terry. The stripe is yarn-dyed and woven in rather than printed — a soft sunlit ochre across an undyed cream ground — so it keeps its depth wash after wash. 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 with a yarn-dyed stripe, 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;\"\u003eThe stripe is what makes it read as more than a towel. Knotted at the shoulder it works as a cover-up; spread across a lounger it covers the whole seat; folded once it serves as a beach blanket for two. At home it hangs well enough on an open rail to be part of the room, and 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;\"\u003eWill the stripe fade?\u003c\/strong\u003eThe yarn is dyed before it is woven, so the color runs through the thread rather than sitting on the surface.
