16/S LOW TWIST RING SPUN
16/S Low Twist Ring Spun Towels — Fine Count Cotton Terry from Pakistan
Tulip Towel Industries manufactures 16/S low twist ring spun cotton towels in Karachi, Pakistan. The 16/S yarn count designation refers to a finer single-ply cotton yarn used in the terry pile construction — finer than the 12/1 count used in standard institutional towels, and lower twist than conventional ring spun. This combination produces a towel with a noticeably smoother, more refined surface texture that appeals to premium hotel buyers and quality-conscious retail programs.
Understanding 16/S Construction
Yarn count directly affects towel texture and performance. A 16/S yarn is finer than 12/1 — meaning more fibres per unit of yarn, producing a denser, smoother loop pile when woven. Combined with low twist construction, the 16/S towel achieves a silkier hand feel on the towel face while maintaining strong absorbency in the loop pile body. This specification is commonly selected by 4-star hotel procurement teams who want a step up in perceived quality from standard institutional product without moving to a full combed or zero twist specification.
