The Fox Mercantile Flour Sack Tea Towel

A flour sack weave is a traditional, lightweight cotton construction known for being lint-free and highly absorbent. It is thinner than a standard terry cloth towel, which allows it to dry quickly and makes it ideal for polishing glassware or drying delicate dishes.

While it is functional upon arrival, the cotton weave will become significantly more absorbent and softer after the first few washes. We recommend washing it before its first use to remove any manufacturing finishes and break in the fabric.

Because it is a lightweight flour sack towel, it is better suited for drying dishes, wiping down countertops, or covering rising dough rather than soaking up large, heavy spills. For major messes, a thicker terry cloth towel would be a more effective choice.

To maintain the vibrancy of the print, machine wash in cold water with like colors and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using bleach, as it can fade the pattern and weaken the cotton fibers over time.

Absolutely. The tropical print is designed to serve as a decorative accent. It drapes well over oven handles or towel bars, adding a pop of color and botanical style to your kitchen space.
