The name Milagro is Spanish for "miracle" and with good reason: the lightweight softness and absorbency of Matouk Milagro bath towels make them a miraculous addition to your bath experience. At 550 GSM, Matouk Milagro towels are woven in Portugal from luxurious 100% 'zero-twist' long-staple yarns.  Unlike most terry towels (which are made with twisted cotton loop) the long-staple cotton used in Milagro towels does not require twisting for strength. Instead, the cotton fibers are held together with a special wrapping process that allows them to capture more air among them. This creates an incredibly lightweight towel that is exceptionally soft, plush, and absorbent while also being quick to dry.
