Know before you buy
Unlike synthetic fabrics that wear down, this 100% linen towel actually softens and becomes more absorbent with every wash. It is designed to improve with age, developing a unique character the more you use it.
Yes, linen is naturally highly absorbent and lint-free, making it an ideal material for drying glassware and delicate dishes. Because it is a heavier-weight fabric, it handles moisture effectively while drying quickly between uses.
We recommend machine washing in warm water and line drying whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the fibers. Linen is naturally durable, but avoiding high-heat tumble drying will help the fabric maintain its quality for years.
While they are beautiful enough to display, they are built for heavy-duty kitchen work. The generous 20" x 30" size and durable construction make them perfectly suited for daily tasks like drying hands, wiping counters, or covering proofing dough.
As with most natural linen products, you may notice a very slight shrinkage after the first wash. However, the generous dimensions are designed to account for this, ensuring the towel remains a practical size for kitchen use.
