Turkish towel or terry towel?

Two weaves, two ways of doing things. The differences, with sources.

In short

Terry stays thicker and plusher. A Turkish towel absorbs too, but it folds small, dries fast and leaves the sand on the beach.

On sand, a thin towel shields you less than a thick terry one.
