Linen Tea Towel – Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus Linen Tea Towel by Linen Tales

The Eucalyptus linen tea towel by Linen Tales is a patterned kitchen towel made of pure European linen, woven and stone-washed in Lithuania. Illustrated eucalyptus branches with their round, silvery-green leaves sprawl across a light background, printed on a fabric that has already undergone the stone-washing process.

The Eucalyptus linen tea towel is a kitchen towel from Linen Tales in Vilnius that polishes glasses, lines bread baskets, and serves as a placemat. Measuring 45 by 65 centimeters, it is large enough for a whole load of dishes, and the corner loop allows the towel to be hung up afterwards.

Eucalyptus branches across the entire fabric

Illustrated branches with the round, silvery-green leaves of the eucalyptus sprawl across the entire surface of the light background. The pattern is fine enough to look like a texture from two steps away, and it only resolves into individual leaves upon closer inspection. This makes the towel suitable for areas where solid-colored items might be too plain, such as a kitchen that is otherwise devoid of patterns. Draped over a bread basket, it turns breakfast into a proper meal.

A patterned towel that deserves to be on the table

Because the pattern adorns the fabric, this tea towel does not have to stay on the hook: it can make the journey from the stove to the dining table as a base for a cheese board, under a fruit bowl, or as a generous napkin for a picnic. Linen Tales also offers the same eucalyptus print as a table runner and napkin, allowing you to create a coordinated set from all three items. Patterned towels are the bridge between kitchen linens and table linens, and are often a more practical solution for small tables than a full-sized tablecloth.

Why the pattern survives many washes

The print is applied to a fabric that has already been stone-washed and therefore barely shrinks. As a result, the design does not distort, and the contours of the leaves remain sharp even after many wash cycles. The printed fabric is tested according to Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX, yarn by yarn and color by color. For a towel that touches bread daily, this certification is more than just a formality.

Flax from the field to the finished bolt

The raw material is flax, a blue-flowering plant that thrives on European fields with rain alone and requires little in the way of pesticides. The EUROPEAN FLAX seal on the Linen Tales fabric confirms the Western European origin of the fibers and makes their journey traceable. The subsequent weaving, printing, and sewing take place in Lithuania, where flax has been part of the landscape for millennia. This keeps the supply chain short for a natural product.

Wash at 40 degrees, iron on the reverse

Wash the linen tea towel on a gentle cycle at 40 degrees, keep the spin speed under 600 RPM, and let it air dry. Use a mild detergent without bleach, as bleaching agents attack the print. If you wish to iron, do so on the reverse side while the fabric is still damp; this will keep the pattern intact.
