Is the hanging loop durable?

Will this towel shrink in the wash?

Troubleshooting
Towel is not absorbing water well
Avoid using fabric softener in the wash, as it leaves a residue that inhibits absorbency. Wash with a small amount of white vinegar to strip build-up.
Fabric has accumulated lint
Wash the towel separately from items that shed fibers, or use a lint roller to refresh the surface after drying.
Color appears to be fading
Always wash in cold water using a detergent specifically formulated for dark fabrics and avoid direct sunlight when drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Westford Mill Tea Towel, wash it before the first use to remove any production residues and improve absorbency. Because of the black dye, it is recommended to wash with like colors in cold or lukewarm water to minimize fading. Avoid using harsh chlorine bleach, as this will damage the organic fibers and discolor the fabric. To keep the fabric absorbent, avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can leave a waxy coating on the cotton that repels water. Air drying is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the fabric, but it can be tumble-dried on a low heat setting if necessary.
