Single-face terry is typically made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester fibres, a special knitted fabric with the characteristic soft loops only on one side. The looped surface provides good moisture absorption, while the cotton content gives a pleasant, natural feel and the polyester adds a more durable structure. Some variants may also be supplemented with a TPU layer providing special functional properties. It can be used for apparel, cosmetic cloths, headbands, home textiles, wipes and craft projects. For towels and bathrobes, double-face terry, looped on both sides, is the right fit.
TERRY FABRIC DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Single-sided terry
Single-sided terry is a special knitted fabric where the characteristic soft loops are only found on one side, while the other side is smooth. Thanks to its characteristic looped surface, it has a soft feel and good moisture-absorbing properties. Single-sided terry is generally made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester fibres, and some variants may also be supplemented with a TPU layer. The textile's structure allows the surface to absorb moisture quickly while providing a pleasant feel. Single-sided terry can be used in many areas, mainly in the clothing industry, for making home textiles, decorative textiles, or as a base material for various craft products.
Composition and structure
Single-sided terry is basically made from a combination of cotton and polyester fibres. Cotton, as a natural base material, contributes to a soft feel and good moisture absorption, while polyester fibres can increase the material's durability and shape retention. In some variants, a TPU layer may also be present, which can provide special functional properties.
The structure of terry has a looped surface, consisting of small fibre loops. These loops increase the textile's surface, so the material is able to absorb moisture more effectively. The single-sided design means the looped layer is found on one side of the material, while the other side has a smoother surface.
Material characteristics
Single-sided terry has several properties that make it suitable for making various textile products. The looped structure and cotton content together ensure the material's practical usability.
- soft, looped surface
- good moisture absorption
- natural feel based on cotton
- more durable structure with polyester content
- easy-to-cut and easy-to-sew textile

These properties allow single-sided terry to appear in various textile products where moisture absorption and a pleasant feel are important. If you need a surface looped on both sides for a towel, double-face terry is the right choice.
Applications
Single-sided terry is a frequently used base material in the clothing industry. Various comfort garments, children's apparel products or practical textile accessories can be made from it. The soft surface and moisture-absorbing property can be advantageous for numerous apparel applications. For children's clothing, smooth-surfaced cotton interlock is often used alongside it.

This textile is also frequently used in craft projects and hobby sewing. The easy-to-handle structure allows for making various creative textile products.
