Terrycloth

Hey kiddo, have you ever seen a really soft towel? Terrycloth is a special kind of fabric that makes those super cozy towels that feel like a big hug.

Terrycloth is made by weaving loops of yarn together. Think of it like tying little knots all across the fabric. This makes the fabric really fluffy and absorbent, which is great for things like towels and bathrobes.

Sometimes, terrycloth is made with different kinds of yarn to make it even more soft and comfy. And since it can soak up so much water, it's perfect for drying off after a bath or swim.

So next time you use a plush towel or snuggle up in your fuzzy bathrobe, you can remember that it's made of special terrycloth.
