Know before you buy
Linen is naturally more absorbent than cotton and dries much faster, making it ideal for high-traffic kitchen tasks. Because it is a heavyweight flax linen, it will effectively wick moisture from dishes without becoming quickly saturated.
To maintain the integrity of the flax fibers, we recommend hand washing these towels in cool water with a gentle detergent. Lay them flat or hang them to air dry to prevent shrinkage and preserve the weave.
No, this towel is not lint-free, though the shedding will decrease significantly after the first few washes. Linen is generally less prone to leaving lint than cotton, but you may notice some fibers initially.
New linen often has a crisp, structured feel. It will soften considerably with use and subsequent hand washings, eventually developing the relaxed, lived-in texture that high-quality linen is known for.
At 28" x 18", this towel is large enough to handle drying pots, pans, and large platters with ease. Its generous surface area also makes it useful as a rustic bread cover or a liner for a serving basket.
