The term refers to a specific type of cotton yarn and fabric engineered to exhibit enhanced moisture absorbency and retention properties. This enhanced performance is achieved through specialized spinning techniques that create a hollow core within the cotton fiber. This hollow core allows the material to absorb moisture quickly and efficiently, leading to improved comfort for the wearer or user.
The ability of this material to absorb and hold moisture offers several advantages. It can improve breathability in apparel, keeping individuals drier and more comfortable. In applications such as towels, it provides enhanced drying capacity. Historically, cotton has been valued for its natural absorbency; however, this engineered variation builds upon this characteristic, significantly boosting its performance. This development has led to its adoption in various textile products where moisture management is critical.
