Combining century-old techniques with a modern, minimalist design, every towel is finished with the brand's stylish woven tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGauze fabrics often end up thin and flat. The \u003cb\u003e\"2.5-Ply Gauze\"\u003c\/b\u003e towel was developed to change that: it is airy and pleasantly plump to the touch, highly absorbent, quick-drying, and never bulky or stiff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4784\/6735\/files\/sin-2101-07.jpg\" alt=\"Drying hands with the 2.5-Ply Gauze Towel\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Secret of the \"0.5\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble gauze (2 layers) and triple gauze (3 layers) are common.

That lighter middle layer is the \"0.5\".
