Beautiful Linen-blend Tea Towels that match the Fabric
November 30, 2021
The linen blend fabric I purchased last month for a table cloth matches these towels. I bought four to use for wrapping bread and other food items for dining as well as covering part of the table before or after a holiday meal. While I have natural linen napkins to use with the table cloth, I can use these towels as napkins for serving ribs and other finger foods.
I prefer linen towels for drying fine china and glassware. The linen blend also is dried on a clothes rack and does not need any ironing.
Pros
No ironing if rack dried.
Lovely heavy texture.
Linen or linen blend preferred to actually hand dry glass ware and china.
