The traditional kitchen and toilet towel in “poor man’s suit” in classic white or blue. The sturdy napkin for everyday and party.
This towel fabric is a so-called sieve weave (the pattern looks like a sieve – but only appears after washing!), woven to order for a guesthouse in Järvsö in the 60s.
The weaving method is also called poor man’s cloth, a weaving method that produced a fabric that looks much more exclusive than it really is.
The weaving method is very old and produces a highly absorbent and durable fabric, which has always been used for towels and tablecloths. The fabric is most beautiful if you mangle it, then the shiny linen threads in the weft are emphasized, against the duller warp of cotton. The quality only becomes more beautiful the more you wear the fabric.
One of the contradictions of the fabric is that as towels it gives a slightly old-fashioned robust character, while as a well-mangled tablecloth it gives an exclusive feeling of “Oh my, what’s this?”.
50% cotton, 50% linen of bleached quality with touches of bleached and blue yarn respectively.
Shrinks about 7% on first wash. Machine wash recommended, preferably 90 degrees after heavy soiling, otherwise 40 or 60 degrees. Can be ironed or mangled. As towels, it is enough if you hang them smooth after washing and then fold them. Stains are removed with linseed oil soap. Sold in four variants, as towels, as napkins and as tablecloths.
