IKEA tea towels

Post by barryG »

IKEA have these towels for 35p each, they are linen and a very old fashion weave and look very period. Beats having modern tea towels etc on your display..... good for cleaning kit etc too without having modern cloths.

These are excellent for period looking towels. However, they are not linen, they are 100% cotton, not that its incorrect, just that its less common than the original linen ones.

I have bought them in Europe and in the US and they were cotton :wink:

I have a photo of an original French towel from the First World War and its identical.
