It dries them with its pile — thousands of fine fibres standing off the backing with air between them, pulling water in and holding it. Doris buys the heavy, densely set coral fleece. The copies use the thinnest fleece that still photographs like a towel, because nobody can see pile in a listing photo. Thin the pile and the water gets pushed around the front instead of taken up.

A good one has depth — the pile is dense and set close, so your thumb sinks in before it meets the backing, and that space is exactly where the water goes. The thin stuff feels like a blanket and behaves like a raincoat. Then look at the hem. A single overlock pass is what every low-cost mill does, because it is one operation instead of two.
