Thomas Ferguson Pure Fine Irish Linen Tea Towel - Red Stripe.

Woven by Thomas Ferguson for many years this is a traditional Irish linen tea towel with a red, lettered, centre stripe.

This is a high quality tea towel, ideal for drying, as it possesses the high absorbency of 100% linen, as well minimizing streaks and lint as it has longer, and stronger flax fibres.

This item has been further enhanced by using finer yarns, with even longer fibres, and a tighter weave.

On top of this it is supplied with a washed finish, which softens the linen, and removes much of the shrinkage.

The dimensions of this tea towel are, 56 x 74 cm - 22" x 29.1".

Machine washable at up to 50°C  for the best results let the tea towel dry naturally. Dry cleaning and tumble drying can weaken the linen fibres.

Thomas Ferguson's Irish linen are widely acknowledged as the finest linen Jacquard weaver in the world. This reputation for quality has been developed through many generations of dedication and skill and owes much to the company's rich heritage.

Founded in 1854 by Thomas Ferguson, an already established linen weaver, the Company has woven Irish Linen for over 160 years.

This weaving expertise combined with fine, high quality yarns, and modern looms; produce a linen damask cloth which is unusually soft and fine, has a wonderful natural lustre and yet is strong enough to last a lifetime, with normal domestic use.

Irish linen may no longer be a widespread everyday household product, like it was up until the early 20th century. However, over the centuries their linens were refined and distilled, and most of the coarser, commodity linens were discontinued, so that we are left with only the best, refined over generations to delight our modern-day customers.

The connoisseur knows Thomas Ferguson linens are facets of a good life, and deserve attention.
