Linen Tea Towel – Forest Green

Forest Green Linen Tea Towel by Linen Tales

The Forest Green linen tea towel by Linen Tales is a forest-green kitchen cloth made from 100 percent European linen, woven in Lithuania and stone-washed. Its green is so dark that it appears almost black in the shade.

The Forest Green Linen Tea Towel is a kitchen cloth from Linen Tales in Vilnius that dries pots, polishes glasses, and covers bowls while dough is rising. A loop in the corner brings it back to the hook, where it dries quickly.

Forest green that only reveals its color in the light

Forest Green is a rich, dark green that looks almost like black in the kitchen shade and only reveals its depth by the window. Alongside brass, copper, and warm wood, this shade is particularly effective because the green makes the metallic tones light up. In a white kitchen, it is the one dark point that provides stability to the room. It fits the Christmas season perfectly anyway, without slipping into the decorative, as the shade is too serious for that.

Where stains disappear into the weave

A rich base absorbs water stains without showing them, and even the impression of a hot pan remains inconspicuous. Light-colored kitchen textiles require care, but this cloth does not, making it a tool rather than a display piece. Anyone who spends time at the stove every day chooses the darker shades of the Linen Tales range for good reason. With this shade, there is really no need to fear signs of wear.

Stone-washed before the scissors are applied

Newly woven linen feels stiff and papery, which is why every length of fabric first undergoes a stone wash. The treatment opens the fiber, removes the harshness from the fabric, and allows it to drape softly over the hand afterwards. Because the fabric shrinks during this process, the dimensions remain reliable in everyday use. This process does not require any chemical assistance.

The thread comes from a European plant

Flax blooms blue, thrives on European fields with rain, and requires little plant protection. The EUROPEAN FLAX label proves that the fibers originate from Western European cultivation and that this journey has been documented. Furthermore, Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX tests every yarn for harmful residues. Lithuania itself has been cultivating flax for thousands of years, meaning Linen Tales finds its raw material almost on its doorstep.

Wash at 40 degrees, without bleach

Wash the linen tea towel at a maximum of 40 degrees on a delicate cycle and use a mild detergent without bleach so that the forest green retains its depth. Keep the spin speed below 600 revolutions and hang the cloth up to dry afterwards. You do not need fabric softener here, because the fabric becomes smoother on its own with every wash, and a film around the fiber would only reduce the absorbency. Hung up, this linen dries so quickly that it is back in use the same evening.
