Not Just a Tea Towel!

I was recently introduced to this lovely website that sells a huge range of tea towels for every taste and budget.  Looking around the site I couldn't believe how many tea towels there were from linen to cotton and linen union blends.  My usual tea towels are cotton so I thought I would try out some linen ones.

The linen ones need to be soaked prior to use to get out the starch and make them more absorbent.  They are supposed to improve in absorbency over time, after they have been washed several times.

The website contains all the information you need about looking after your tea towels and gives a long list of ideas that you can use them for other than drying the dishes!  These uses include gift wrapping, making into cushions (a Union Jack tea towel on the site would be great for that), making tote bags and dust jackets for books and even giving to a child as a comfort blanket.  I will never view my tea towels as just for drying up with again. Why not pop over to the site and have a look around.  There is even a Royal Wedding tea towel and some great offers in the sale section on aprons.

    Tea towels are much abused by the men folk in my kitchen ... your pretty ones wouldn't last five minutes here I'm afraid. Lovely though!

    Just been on the site, wow! Never thought of so many uses!
    I have actually bought plain linen tea towels to embroider on before now too!
    I still use one that mum used to use for food only
