What is French Terry fabric? How is it different from regular terry cloth?

French Terry is a knitted fabric with loops on one side (the inside) and a smooth surface on the other (the outside). Unlike regular terry cloth (which has loops on both sides like a towel), French Terry presents a clean exterior while retaining softness and stretch from the looped interior.
