Yes! Teemas are made from Turkish cotton, which has long fibers that actually get softer and more absorbent with each consecutive wash. That's right, like a fine wine, your Teema will get better with age. Think like that old flannel your dad has had for decades.Because Teemas are made from 100% cotton, they do shrink a bit under heat. If you'd prefer your Teema stay its full, original size, we recommend washing under warm or cold water and hang or tumble drying. If you don't mind a little shrinkage, then feel free to wash however you please!
