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.
