Karl Mayer, a leading German warp knitting machinery builder, has developed a collection of bath towels featuring long repeats, hems and borders at the end of last year and is now carrying out a second series of tests, in order to exploit the potential of its TM 4 TS EL terry tricot machine. The aim of the recent work is to produce heavy weight fabrics, especially for the hotel sector. Soft, fluffy fabrics having the typical loop strength of warp-knitted fabrics, and consequently their high wash resistance, are mainly used at the premium end of the hotel market.
