The Huckaback weave is used to manufacture non-pile towels. It has long warp and weft floats that make the fabric soft and absorbent, with plain weave threads that keep the structure firm. The weave creates a striped and checked effect with a rough surface. It is a balanced weave commonly using linen or cotton yarns and having a repeat size of 10 ends by 10 picks.
