A hand towel is a mid-size towel, smaller than a bath towel and larger than a washcloth, used for drying hands and face at the sink. Our Turkish hand towels are handwoven in Denizli, Turkey from Turkish cotton in three weaves: waffle, mosaic and 4-layer muslin.
They also work as guest towels next to a powder room sink, and each weave comes in its own range of colors.
