Our organic cotton herringbone weave tea towels are designed to be incredibly absorbent and durable. They make a sustainable, natural and stylish addition to any kitchen.
The herringbone weave is a distinctive V-shape, getting its name because it resembles the skeleton of the herring fish. This makes the organic cotton tea towels incredibly absorbent and perfect for drying dishes or spills in the kitchen.
Our herringbone tea towels are made from sustainable, organic cotton grown without pesticides and with respect for nature. Our tea towels are entirely natural and biodegradable, meaning they don't release microplastics when they break down.
Many of us don’t realise that most tea towels are made from microfibres, which are a type of plastic. Every time you wash this synthetic fabric, millions of microfibres are released into the water.
These fibres are too small to be filtered out by waste treatment plants, so they end up in our waterways and oceans, where they wreak havoc on marine animal health and our environment.
These microplastics make their way into the bellies of marine animals, seriously harming not only our ecosystem but our planet.
Simply throw your organic cotton tea towel into the washing machine on a hot wash. You can put your dishcloths into the tumble dryer, but avoid fabric softener as it will reduce their absorbency.
If your tea towels smell, soak them in warm water with vinegar before washing.
