If you're anything like us, your kitchen towels have seen it all—muddy veggies, jam spills, a surprise lamb bottle-feeding (yes, that happens). So when it came time to choose the fabric for our tea towels, we knew they had to be tough, hardworking, and still look cute hanging on the oven door.
After testing a few different samples- and swapping from our original choice! (some of which couldn't even dry a spoon properly), we landed on 100% natural brushed cotton—and let me tell you, it's the real MVP.
Here’s why this fabric won our hearts:
Super absorbent. Nobody has time for towels that just push water around. These babies soak it up like a champ, whether you're drying dishes or your hands after a day in the garden.
Quick to dry. No one wants a soggy towel hanging around. These dry fast so you’re not dealing with that funky damp smell by morning.
Soft, but not flimsy. They’ve got that just-right texture—gentle enough for delicate glassware, but sturdy enough to wrestle a roasting pan.
They wear beautifully. Like a good pair of jeans, the more you use and wash them, the better they get. A little rustic, a little refined—just like us. We have also tested them in a bleach wash! Came out looking beautifully white and the colour still sharp!
We also love how the fabric holds up to everyday use without fuss. No shrinking into dish-rag territory. No weird shine. Just a good, honest towel that’s happy to get to work.
So if you’re looking for a kitchen sidekick that pulls its weight and still looks pretty doing it, we think you’ll love these as much as we do.
From one muddy-boots gal to another—thanks for being here!
