Description
This 4-layer muslin towel is a lightweight gauze towel made of four layers of 100% Turkish cotton gauze, handwoven in Denizli, Turkey, and lighter and quicker to dry than a terry towel. Airy gauze layers that absorb fast, dry faster, and grow softer with every single wash. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified — soft enough for your face, generous enough for the bath.
What Is a Muslin Towel?
Muslin is an open, breathable gauze weave that has been used for generations. Unlike heavy terry, muslin dries you with a soft, lint-free touch and dries itself in a fraction of the time. That makes it the quiet favorite of skincare lovers (a true muslin face towel for gentle cleansing), minimalists, and anyone who hates that damp, musty towel smell.
"A muslin towel is the gentlest thing you can put on your skin. It cleans without scrubbing, dries without rubbing, and only gets softer the more you love it."
— Lead Craftswoman, Denizli Women's Textile Collective
Why 4-Layer Muslin?
Single-layer muslin is too thin for a real towel. Our 4-layer weave is the sweet spot — substantial enough to absorb like a proper towel, light enough to keep that signature airy, quick-drying feel.

Care Instructions
- Machine wash cold (30°C max) with similar colors
- Tumble dry low or line dry (muslin loves air-drying)
- Do not use fabric softener — it coats fibers and reduces absorbency
- Avoid bleach
- The cotton blooms and softens with every wash
Pair these muslin towels with a matching muslin robe or the 4-layer muslin coverlet, or compare textures with our waffle towel set and the rest of our cotton towel sets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a muslin towel absorbent enough for the bath?
Yes. The 4-layer gauze weave absorbs water well while staying far lighter than terry, so these are full-size muslin towels for adults that also dry faster between uses and help avoid a musty smell.
Can I use it as a muslin face towel?
Yes. The face and hand size works well as a muslin face towel for removing cleanser in a daily skincare routine, and the soft, lint-free gauze does not tug.
How is this different from a peshtemal?
A peshtemal is a flat, single-weave hammam towel. This is a layered gauze towel made of four layers of muslin, softer to the touch and with a crinkled texture.
Does it shrink?
Expect minimal shrinkage of about 3-5% after the first wash. Wash cold and tumble dry low or line dry to keep it in shape.
What sizes are available?
The 4 Pcs Face+Hand Towel option includes four towels of about 18x34 in (45x85 cm), and the 2 Pcs Bath Towel option includes two muslin bath towels of about 32x67 in (80x170 cm). The exact contents of the Towel Set are shown on the product page when you select that option, and every option comes in 10 colors.
Where are these towels made?
They are handwoven from 100% Turkish cotton in Denizli, Turkey, and are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.
