Know before you buy
Because this towel is hand-screened and made of delicate linen, it requires hand washing to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the printed design. We recommend soaking it in cool water with a gentle detergent and laying it flat to air dry.
It is highly functional. Pure linen is naturally absorbent and, unlike cotton, it is lint-free, making it an excellent choice for polishing delicate china and glassware without leaving behind any residue.
The towel measures 18 inches by 28 inches, which is a standard, versatile size for both drying dishes and handling general kitchen tasks.
Hand-screening creates a more authentic, artisanal finish compared to mass-produced digital prints. Because each piece is crafted individually, you may notice slight, unique variations in the ink application that add to the towel's character.
While linen has a distinct, crisp texture initially, it is known to soften significantly with use and time. It provides a sturdy, reliable grip for drying dishes right out of the box.
