The textiles by Karin Carlander, a danish master weaver, are woven of linen spun from flax naturally grown and retted on the ground at a specific run of fields that stretch from Caen in France through Belgium to Amsterdam. The work in the entire process from growing, spinning, dyeing and weaving is done by highly skilled, educated and local craftsmen. Linen is ideal for tea towels. Pure linen is highly absorbent, dries quickly after use and only gets better with use. It polishes glasses gently to become as clear as crystal. The woven structure of the designs is intended to give the linen ideal conditions to perform. Other tea towels shown are sold separately.
Made in Europe.
