It has been observed that if the final count of weft yarn is the same, the use of single yarn associated with lower sell leads to a highly absorbent towelling fabric. Huck-a-back weave having relatively longer warp floats than weft floats, using the same yarns and fabric construction but higher ends then picks per inch, produces a fabric with improved strength and absorbance.</span
