The vertical, striped pattern is a design icon within the damask collection. The design is beautiful in itself but also when combined with other patterned or plain-coloured tea towels. Shades of blue and greyish brown have been chosen for Deep Blue, which almost turns into denim, giving a subdued, rustic expression. This tea towel fits just as nicely in the country kitchen as it does in the modern kitchen. We recommend soaking all tea towels in cold water for 24 hours before use to expand the fibres, and then wash at 60°C to ensure optimal absorbency. You can tumble dry the product, but we recommend line-drying to give a smoother result. Allow 5 - 10 working days for delivery.
