What are tea towels?

A tea towel is a soft, breathable cloth, traditionally made from 100% cotton or linen, perfect for drying dishes and wiping hands in the kitchen. Originally from 18th-century England, tea towels were used to insulate warm teapots, which is how they got their name!

Our tea towels are made of 100% flour-sack cotton. Thin threads are tightly woven to create a uniquely textured, highly absorbent, lightweight cloth - which allows the towels to dry quickly.

• Dry your hands and dishes with ease.
• Cover fermenting jars to keep dust and flies away.

• Take it on a picnic as a napkin or placemat.
