Care Instructions
Teemas are made from 100% Organic Turkish cotton, therefore they shrink a small amount under heat. If you'd prefer your Teema stay its exact, original size, please follow the recommended care instructions below. If you don't mind a small amount of shrinking natural to 100% cotton items, then feel free to wash and dry however you please.
Machine wash cold on delicate or gentle cycle, and hang or tumble-dry on low
P.S. / Insider Tip: We at Teema wash and dry our Teemas on standard wash and high heat dry cycles and they handle it just fine :)
Did you know? Teemas are made from 100% Organic Turkish cotton, which gets softer and more absorbent with use and wash, much like your favorite old cotton flannel.

FAQs
What is a Teema?
Teemas are Turkish towels, which are flat woven unlike traditional terry cloth towels, and hand crafted from 100% organic Turkish cotton. This makes our towels sand repellant, fast drying, super portable, and incredibly versatile. All of our Turish towels can double as a blanket, a scarf, a shawl, a wrap and more.
From long flights to chilly nights at home, from beach days to backpacking trips, Teema's superior qualities, portability, and versatility make Turkish towels an accessory you'll use every day in various ways.
PS - their impressive craftsmanship, broad appeal and various use cases make them a unique gift that you can give to literally anyone!
Are all Teemas the same?
Nope! While all of our products are made from 100% Turkish cotton, the structure and thickness of their weaves vary. Some have a heavier, looser weave, making them softer and more blanket-like, like the Labyrinth and Diamanté. Others have a tighter weave making them lighter and more portable, like the Simple and Layers.
Check the details section in the "About" tab in the product description for the specific dimensions and weight of each collection. Also check the Weave tab for a more detailed description of each products specific weave structure.
