The lines in the middle of the towel (Dobby Border): Are they decorative or do they serve a purpose?

towels have two, and large bath towels have three. This is how factories categorize without writing. Common Myth: Many people say “the stripes are for wiping away dirt.” This is incorrect. The dobby border is a bit stiff and not comfortable on the skin; its purpose is structural, not for cleaning. Tip to maintain it: When washing the towel, don’t wring it out too hard in this area. It’s what holds the whole towel together. If it breaks, the whole towel will start to unravel. In short: Designers didn’t add stripes just for decoration. This is a small example of “fabric engineering.” Beauty + Function at the same time. Have you ever noticed the number of lines on your towels at home?
