Tea Towel 220gsm

Tea Towel 220gsm

Durable 100% cotton fabric woven especially for tea towels.

Our tea towel cotton is a narrow width plain weave fabric. It has a smooth finish and slightly open weave making it perfect for tea towels.

The base colour of our tea towel cotton is white. The weave provides a good printing surface but the level of detail that can be achieved in prints is limited due to the slightly open weave. Tea towel cotton is printed using eco-friendly water based pigment inks.

All our cotton fabrics are processed and pre-treated to offer excellent durability and wash fastness. The tea towel cotton has been processed to perform particularly well as a tea towel.
