Ekelund Tomtebyn Tea & Kitchen Towel
Bring a piece of Swedish heritage into your kitchen with the Ekelund Tomtebyn Tea Towel. Designed by artist Betty Svensson and woven in Sweden, this towel is made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, guaranteeing environmentally and socially responsible production. This product is sold as a single (1) tea/kitchen towel.
Design & Construction
The charming 'Tomtebyn' (Gnome Village) scene is not printed but woven directly into the fabric using a jacquard technique. This ensures the intricate design is permanent, won't fade, and creates a beautiful reverse image on the back.
- Weave Style: A traditional Scandinavian flat-weave makes this towel lightweight, durable, and quick-drying, unlike plush terry towels.
- Initial Feel: Your new towel will have a crisp feel, a sign of its quality weave. It softens significantly after the first wash and grows even softer with use.
- Hanging Loop: A sturdy loop is sewn into the corner for convenient hanging.
Performance & Absorbency
Engineered for performance, the 100% organic cotton weave is highly absorbent and ideal for drying dishes, hands, and countertops. Its tight weave creates a lint-free finish for sparkling glassware. For optimal absorbency, wash the towel before its first use.
Care & Durability
Ekelund towels are made to last for years, with vat-dyed colors that remain vibrant through countless washes.
- Washing: Machine wash warm (up to 140°F / 60°C). Do not use bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low or hang to dry for best results.
- Shrinkage: Expect minimal shrinkage of approximately 3-5% after the first wash.
- Ironing: Iron on a high setting to restore the towel's original sheen.
