Linen Tea Towel – Black

$48

A tea towel in quality 100% unbleached Linen, woven in Sweden with a modern translation of the classic Scandinavian Gasoga pattern design. The natural fibres of linen become softer and more absorbent after each wash, making this ideal for drying dishes, and it works nicely as a hand towel or to tie around a freshly baked loaf of bread. You’ll find these ultra-absorbent, quick-drying and long-lasting. They can be machine washed and tumble dried. Avoid bleaching, dry cleaning and fabric softeners, as fabric softeners can cause the towels to lose their absorbency.

  • Made in Sweden
  • LxW: 700 x 500 mm
  • 100% linen

Made by Iris Hantverk, who hire and support visually impaired craftspeople to create many of their beautiful and functional products.

Maker Profile

Iris Hantverk

1870's Stockholm: The birthplace of a brush manufacturing revolution. Now, as then, every brush is made by hand, but what sets Iris Hantverk apart is not just the quality of their goods, but the process behind their creation. Each brush is meticulously crafted by visually impaired craftsmen. This unique approach adds an extra layer of depth and sensitivity to each and every brush, redefining the concept of handmade craftsmanship.

Today there are 17 employees at Iris Hantverk. The core of the business is the brush binding manufacturing at Sandsborgsvägen – here a team of visually impaired craftsmen make brushes according to an old Swedish tradition. They also work with visually impaired craftsmen in Estonia. They too have a history strongly connected to the visual impairments movement.

Join Iris Hantverk on their journey as they continue to create and share their exceptional brushes with the world, keeping tradition alive one brush at a time.
