This strengthens the towel\u2019s structure, helping prevent fraying, shrinking, and distortion after many wash cycles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"623\">It also helps the towel keep its shape, fold more neatly, and allows manufacturers to add patterns or detailing without reducing absorbency in the main fabric.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"627\" data-end=\"856\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">This online discussion shows how everyday items often include clever design details we rarely pay attention to.
