Description of Irish Linen Rougher the Sea Gift Tea Towel
Irish linen tea towels are well known for being some of the best you can get. We've taken our traditional stripe design, that has been in production for over a century, and further infused it with more Irishness (which we've decided is a word).
Each tea towel in this collection features something extra in the central band. These make the perfect gift for someone with a taste for the tradition, with an extra hint of home.
The rougher the sea the smoother we sail. Ahoy!
How To Take Care Of Your Irish Linen Rougher the Sea Gift Tea Towel
Linen is a remarkably durable fabric that only gets softer and more absorbent with time. Caring for it is simple, and by following a few key steps, you can keep your linen looking and feeling its best.
When washing, use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water (up to 40°C) and a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach or brighteners, as these can weaken the fibres. For best results, wash linen separately to prevent friction with rougher fabrics.
Drying naturally is always preferable—line drying helps maintain the linen’s texture and softness. If you need to use a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting and remove the fabric while still slightly damp to minimise wrinkles. To prevent colour fading, keep linen out of direct sunlight for extended periods.
Ironing is entirely optional. If you prefer a crisp finish, press linen while it’s still damp using a medium-hot iron on the reverse side to protect the colours. Storing linen properly is just as important—keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid plastic bags or boxes. To prevent deep creasing, don’t compress it under heavy items.
With each wash, linen becomes softer and more luxurious. By treating it gently and allowing it to dry naturally, you can enjoy its beauty and durability for years to come.
