Know before you buy
The towel is made from 100% unbleached cotton, which provides a natural, slightly textured feel. This texture is intentional, as it helps the fabric be more effective at drying dishes and hands compared to smoother, synthetic materials.
The towel is machine washable and dryer safe, making it easy to maintain for daily use. Because it uses eco-friendly, water-based ink, it is durable, but washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat will help preserve the vibrancy of the graphic over time.
Yes, the unbleached cotton is naturally absorbent. While it may feel slightly stiff when brand new, it will soften and become even more absorbent after the first few wash cycles.
When fully opened, the towel measures approximately 24 inches by 26 inches. This is a standard, generous size that provides plenty of surface area for drying large pots or wiping down countertops.
No, each towel is hand-sewn and printed in Michigan by an all-female team. This artisanal approach ensures a higher level of quality and attention to detail compared to mass-manufactured kitchen linens.
