It can be one-sided or two-sided according to the location of the loops on one or both sides. There is a terry cloth with a relief pattern and a cropped pile.

Fronte fabric is made of cotton, bamboo or flax.

1. Cotton. Natural material. It is ideal for sewing bath accessories, because it is soft and perfectly absorbs moisture.

Tenderness to the material gives a special weave of cotton threads, resulting in a large number of thin loops. The more of them, the denser and softer the canvas.
2. Bamboo. Relatively recently appeared on the market material. It absorbs liquid twice as fast as cotton. The effect is achieved due to the whole fiber of the plant from which the canvas is made. Has antiseptic effect. Bonus: Bamboo products cool the skin. This towel is irreplaceable on the beach.
3. Linen. Nothing inferior in quality to cotton. Products made of it are soft, fluffy, durable and perfectly absorb moisture. Linen products are more expensive only because the cultivation of the plant has become more rare.
