Flori Tea Towel in Citrine
Gathering and Collecting
This simple arrangement of found and foraged leaves is a reminder of travels faraway and of walks around San Francisco. The variety of shapes and sizes, the textured edges and the delicate surfaces always inspire. Nature's design work is simply awesome!
Our linen is durable, naturally stain resistant, and stronger than cotton. It will stand the test of time even with years of everyday use. Easy to care for, just wash in cool to warm water, air dry or tumble dry on low and remove while slightly damp. Ironing is optional.
We handprint each towel one-by-one using water-based inks, working locally in small batches. Each towel also has a twill ribbon loop on the back for hanging.

- Linen is wonderful and luxurious. It’s one of the easiest fabrics to care for.
- The smooth and long fibers of linen help resist dirt and stains.
- It gets better with age and softens the more it is washed.
- Linen absorbs water quickly and dries quickly.
- It is durable and strong, lint-free and resistant to pilling.
- Linen can withstand high temperatures.
- It is inherently eco-friendly. Flax has a short growing cycle, is quickly renewable, and every part of the plant is used.

- Hang to dry, or tumble dry on low heat and remove while slightly damp. There is very little to no shrinkage when washed this way.
- For natural or colored linen, it’s best not to hang in bright sunlight to avoid fading.
- Ironing is optional, and much easier to do while your apron is still damp. Use a hot iron with plenty of steam or a spray of water.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Well-cared for linen aprons will last for generations.
Stains
- Remove stains with soap and water while still fresh, before they dry.
- Pre-soaking in mild detergent is very effective in lifting stains.
- Never use chlorine bleach which may damage the fibers.
