Turkish towels are a product unique to Turkey that are used today in a wide range of settings including at the beach, during yoga and gym classes, or as a travel companion. These towels have various different names, the most common being a peshtemal. A peshtemal is the traditional name given to the woven towel that was originally used to cover the body in a Turkish hammam or bath - another traditional Turkish custom. Peshtemals have a history of nearly 600 years and originated in Anatolia, Turkey. These towels are also known as a pestemal, fringet towel, tassel towel or a hammam towel. A silk peshtemal is called a fota, but peshtemal is usually woven by cotton, linen or bamboo yarn.
