Really lovely tea towel. I have had a hard time finding this type of vintage look in a 100% linen tea towel in Canada. The weight is just right and the colour of red is perfect in my kitchen. There was no shrinkage, bleeding of the red stripe when washed I was especially impressed that the sides did not go out of shape after washing/drying. It’s a soft linen that doesn’t need to be washed dozens of times to get to where I want it to be. It is beautiful to display.
