Once you start using handwoven towels you won’t want to use anything else. They are very soft, very absorbent, and little workhorses. You can wash them in the machine, hang them up to dry.
Towels are wee panels of weaving art. Every tea towel I weave is unique and one of a kind. Even coming off a warp of perhaps 8 towels, each individual towel will be different. No twins, just siblings.
Towels cannot be the same length as they are woven individually according to pattern and design, and not according to size.
All of my towels are handwoven on my 8 shaft floor loom, using the finest cottons.
Each towel has been pre-washed in the machine, ironed and hemmed.
Materials: 100% cotton. Machine wash warm, line dry. Hot iron if desired.
The cotton I buy is unique to Ashford’s in NZ. This is one of the softest and finest cotton spun yarns.

Shipping note outside NZ: The price quoted and that you pay will most likely be too high. I will reimburse the overpaid amount as soon as I ship your item. This is because the shipping is calculated for wool shawls and not lighter cotton tea towels.
