Histori
According to medieval archaeological studies, "... personal belongings held tightly include knives and towels ever." However, the discovery of these towels is generally associated with the city of Bursa, Turkey, in the 17th century. This Turkish towel begins as a piece of cotton or flat linen called pestamel, often with hand embroidered. Long enough to wrap the body, the pestamel was initially quite narrow, but it is now wider and typically measuring 90 times 170 cm (35 inches deep). Pestamels are used in Turkish baths because they stay bright when wet and very absorbent.
When the Ottoman Empire grew, so did the use of towels. Weavers are required to embroider more complicated designs, aided by their knowledge of weaving carpets. In the 18th century, towels began to show loops attached from piles of material. This circular towel is known as havly ; Over time, this word has changed to havlu , the Turkish word for towel, and means "with a knot". Towels did not become affordable until the 19th century, with cotton trade and industrialization. With mechanization, terry-toweling cotton became available in the yard and stocked in stores as pre-made towels.
