A linen tea towel can be used to basically do anything in the kitchen: clean spills, hold hot trays, and even be used as a decoration. The best part? It's so strong it'll last years and not even have a scratch on it.
Once you use a cloth to clean something like a spill, there's a soggy feeling on it. With linen tea towels, they dry quickly. This lets you use the tea towel again much quicker so you can prepare those meals faster.
When serving meals, no one wants a glass with smudges on it. It looks like it's already been used. The problem is that most towels leave smudges on the glassware. Not linen. It's fibres clean the glass in a smooth, frictionless motion that leaves no marks behind.
Functionality is very important in the kitchen. If things don't work, what's the point of them? Our linen tea towels are woven to not only be functional, but to add style to the kitchen too. Using simple but effective designs to match your kitchen aesthetic.
Bought quite a few as a friend told me these were really good to use in the kitchen. Happy to say she was right. I love how absorbent they are and how they dry so quickly
Beautiful towels that have been nothing but soft and functional. I had a dinner the other day and my mother was telling me how she loved using these tea towels to cook. She's now ordered some of her own tea towels from Fergusons.
I love being in the kitchen, and now I love it more because I have these tea towels to use. You won't regret purchasing them.
Linen tea towels are high-quality kitchen towels made from natural flax fibers. They’re lightweight, quick-drying, and far more durable than standard cotton towels, making them perfect for everyday kitchen use and entertaining. Tea towels are very hygienic when washed regularly, but linen has a natural edge. Linen fibres are naturally antibacterial and resist odours, meaning they stay fresher for longer and reduce the buildup of harmful bacteria compared to cotton or synthetics.
Tea towels are typically made of linen or cotton. Cotton is soft and affordable, but linen is stronger, more absorbent, and has natural antibacterial properties which is why it’s long been the premium choice. Linen is the best material for tea towels. It’s more absorbent than cotton, dries quickly, resists bacteria, and becomes softer with every wash. The durability also means one linen towel can last for years, while cotton ones often wear thin much faster.
These properties make linen both practical and luxurious for daily kitchen use.

Our part of Ireland creates the perfect environment naturally for weaving. So we have been able to do it for centuries learning techniques and skills that get passed down through generations. Today thanks to humidity controlled rooms, weaving can be done almost anywhere. However, it is the natural climate and legacy of expertise behind Irish Linen that makes it so special.
