Knitted terry is a knit with tall, towel-like loops formed by a special yarn, usually on one or both faces. It is produced on circular machines fitted for loop formation. Unlike french terry, where the loops are small and only serve as a back, in knitted terry the loops are tall and cover the surface.
The fabric is soft, absorbent and stretchy. It is used for robes, sports towels, loungewear and children's articles. Compared with woven terry it is more elastic and drapes more softly, but less dimensionally stable.
