  • Soft, absorbent and superb quality, 100% linen tea towels.
  • Hemmed on all four sides with a handy hanging loop.
  • Linen tea towels become softer and more absorbent wash after wash due to their hollow fibers. Linen is also lint-free, so won't leave any bits of fluff on your glassware, and is 30% stronger than cotton, making it lovely and durable for use around the home.
  • Dimensions: measures approx. 42 x 75 cm (16.5" x 29.5"). These towels have not been pre-washed and will have a small amount of shrinkage on the first washing. This is the case with all pure linen.
  • Tartx linen towels continue to increase in absorbency and will become softer with use. They will also maintain their color integrity wash after wash.
  • Towel colours available: Astrid White, Oatmeal and Natural linen.
  • Machine wash cold or warm  up to 40°C , machine or line dry and iron when needed. Best to iron on the underside whilst damp.
  • Meticulously screen printed with love by hand using non toxic, eco-friendly water based textile inks that are soft to the touch and food safe.
  • Waterbased inks are not only better for the environment and for our health, they also get softer with every wash and will not crack over time.
  • Printed in Colorado, USA.

What to say of all this Tudor business? A real live Shakespearean Soap Opera if there ever was one. And there were. As with so many of the subjects I end up building my pieces around, my interest in the Tudor history began with books. Oftentimes I listen to audiobooks while I work on the pieces themselves, finding inspiration to create something completely original or re-imagining centuries old pieces. As with so many great stories of dynasties, the stories about the Tudors are oftentimes most interesting when they are most personal.

All of the individuals in this enormous and oftentimes confounding family tree had and led such interesting lives (some of them dramatically shortened), that I have enjoyed paying a kind of tribute to their stories. For Anne I have her holding The Tudor Rose and collaged with pieces of an antique anemone botanical and ornamental papers and bookplates. I choose the anemone flower for one of its symbolic meanings "forsaken".
