Moddot Linen Tea Towel in Sand
Dots make the world go 'round.
Our favorite dot design, updated and printed on oyster linen in a sophisticated warm, pearly grey. This simple, graphic and modern pattern of hand drawn dots was inspired by a visit to the deYoung Museum in San Francisco. From an architectural facade to handprinted linen – it will enliven your kitchen just as it enlivens our city.
Linen makes the best kitchen towel - it's durable, ultra-absorbent, naturally stain resistant, and is stronger than cotton. And it's easy to care for. Just machine wash in cool water and air dry or tumble dry on low, removing while damp so you don't have to iron. Then it's ready to use again and again.
Our towels are handprinted one-by-one using water-based inks that integrate into the texture of the linen when washed. Each piece includes a twill corner ribbon on back for easy hanging.
This printing pairs well with the Odd Dot towel on Oatmeal linen.
