The softness in a zero twist towel comes from the construction, not the weight — the yarn is spun without a tight twist so the loops stay open, and that's true whether the towel is 550 GSM or 600 GSM. What the lighter weight changes is drying speed: this dries faster between the multiple daily uses a hand towel gets, without giving up the softness the construction is built for.
At 50 x 90cm, it's sized generously for daily hand and face use, with double-stitched hems to keep the edges from fraying under frequent washing.

FAQs
Does the lighter weight mean it's less soft than the 600 GSM version?
No — softness comes from the zero twist construction, which is identical across both weights. The difference is drying speed, not softness.
What is zero twist and why does it matter?
The yarn is spun without a tight twist before weaving, so the fibres stay open rather than compressed — that's what gives the plush feel and keeps it through repeated washing.
Is this suitable for guest bathrooms and hospitality use?
Yes, guest houses and spas use zero twist ranges specifically because the texture is noticeable to guests.
Do you offer wholesale or bulk pricing?
Yes, no minimum order — call 01204 455755 for a trade quote.
How do I keep it soft after repeated washing?
Avoid fabric softener, wash at 40°C with similar colours, and tumble dry on low.
