The pile height of terry cloth knitted fabric refers to the length of the loops or fibers that protrude from the fabric's surface. Different pile heights can impact the fabric's appearance, texture, and performance, making it suitable for various applications. Here are some common applications of terry cloth knitted fabric with different pile heights:

1. Short Pile (Low Pile):

   - Towels: Towels with short pile terry cloth are absorbent and quick-drying, making them ideal for bath towels, hand towels, and kitchen towels.

   - Bathrobes: Short pile terry cloth is often used for lightweight and comfortable bathrobes, providing a smooth and soft feel against the skin.

   - Washcloths: Due to their softness and ability to hold soap and water effectively, washcloths are typically made from terry cloth with short pile heights.

2. Medium Pile:

   - Beach Towels: Medium pile terry cloth is often used for beach towels because it strikes a balance between absorbency and a comfortable, sand-resistant surface.

   - Sportswear: Terry cloth with a medium pile is used in sportswear like sweatshirts, track pants, and gym towels. It provides moisture-wicking properties and comfort during physical activities.

   - Bedding: Some bedding items, like mattress protectors and pillowcases, use medium pile terry cloth for added comfort and breathability.

3. Long Pile (High Pile):

   - Plush Bathrobes: High pile terry cloth is luxurious and often used for plush bathrobes that provide extra warmth and comfort.

   - Blankets and Throws: Long pile terry cloth is used in blankets and throws for a cozy and soft feel. It can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.

   - Car Seat Covers: Some car seat covers and automotive accessories use high pile terry cloth for added comfort during travel.

4. Variable Pile Heights:

   - Cleaning Products: Terry cloth with variable pile heights, often referred to as "twist" or "sheared" terry, is used in cleaning products like mops and cleaning cloths. Longer loops can trap dust and dirt, while shorter loops provide better scrubbing action.

   - Spa and Wellness Products: Variable pile heights are used in spa towels, massage table covers, and other wellness products to provide a balance of comfort and absorbency.

It's important to note that the choice of pile height depends on the specific requirements of the application. Factors such as absorbency, softness, durability, and the desired aesthetic play a role in selecting the appropriate pile height for a particular product. Manufacturers may also blend different pile heights within a single fabric to create unique textures and performance characteristics.
