Cook's Linen Towel Set
Bright Bright + More Bright. You can't wash the dishes without a clean, dry dish towel... or better yet, 3 or 4 of them within hands reach. We think these brightly-dyed, super absorbent linen towels are the best. They will brighten up your kitchen and perhaps your mood! We designed, sewed and dyed the traditional woven striped linen right here in San Francisco. Soft and absorbent, they are perfect for hands, glassware, dishes, countertops and more kitchen tasks. We also use them as oversized napkins at the dinner table.
About linen: It naturally resists dirt and stains, and is a stronger, more long-lasting fabric than cotton. It will stand the test of time through years of everyday use. Easy to care for, machine wash in cool water, no bleach and air dry or tumble dry on low.
- The set includes 4 towels, 1 of each color
- 100% linen, 18" x 26"
- Pre-washed, stain resistant and long-lasting
- Use cloth not paper :)
- 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.
Tea Towels

- 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.
