Huckaback

Huckaback, also called simply huck, is a type of toweling cloth with a bird's eye or honeycomb pattern. It is a loosely woven fabric made of cotton or linen with huckaback weave.[1][2][3][4]

Structure

The fabric has small geometric patterns and extra texture. It has a plain, rough pebbled surface.[5]

Huckaback

Blended huck towels are made by keeping warp in cotton and weft in linen. Huckaback[6] is a weave in which the weft yarns are of a relatively lower count, and they are loosely twisted (softly spun), making a floating and absorbing weave.[2] It is woven on a dobby loom that has a mechanism for weaving geometric patterns. The huck cloth has good absorbency hence suitable for towels.[1][7][8]

Swedish weave

Huck weave is a fabric used for an embellishment technique called Swedish weaving or huck weaving that became popular in mid 20th century.[9]

Use

Terry, the piled fabrics, and huck are preferred cloths for towels.[5][7][10][11]
