The Details
Two-ply is the spec that defines this collection, and it is worth knowing what it actually means. Most towel yarn is single-ply, meaning one strand of spun fiber goes into the loom as it is. Two-ply yarn takes two of those strands and twists them together into one before weaving. That doubling changes the towel in two ways at once. It puts more cotton mass into every loop, which is what gives the pile its density and its capacity to hold water. And it makes the yarn itself markedly stronger, because a two-strand twist distributes stress across both plies rather than concentrating it in one.
Strength is where this matters most for a facility. A towel's yarn fails at the loops first, from the constant abrasion of use, washing, and tumbling. Two-ply construction is a direct answer to that, which is why it turns up in linens meant for commercial laundering rather than occasional household use. You are paying for a towel with more cotton in it and a yarn built to take longer to wear through.
The dobby border and dobby hem finish it properly, and being all cotton, there is no synthetic content anywhere in the towel. For bulk buyers weighing cost per use rather than cost per unit, a denser, stronger yarn is usually the more economical purchase even when the sticker price is higher.
