Linen Tea Towel

This blend is noticeably more textured and substantial than standard cotton. It offers a crisp, heritage feel that becomes softer and more absorbent with every wash, making it highly effective for drying glassware and dishes.

It is designed for both. While the native bird print makes it a lovely decorative accent, the natural flax and linen fibers are durable enough for heavy-duty kitchen tasks like drying dishes or handling hot cookware.

To maintain the integrity of the natural fibers, machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage and preserve the vintage aesthetic, though a low-heat tumble dry is acceptable if you prefer a softer, more relaxed texture.

Yes, at 31 x 20 inches, this towel is larger than many standard tea towels. The generous size provides ample surface area for drying larger pots and pans or covering rising dough.

The design is integrated into the fabric, but like all natural fiber textiles, some gentle softening of the print color is expected over time. Washing in cold water and avoiding harsh bleaches will help keep the pattern crisp for years.
