Highly absorbent cloth in full linen. Linen dries faster than cotton or synthetics and avoids the typically sour scent of harvest cloth. The cloth is woven from unbleached linen yarn using the Cypress technique, a weaving technique that produces a looser and more flexible cloth than modern ones. Unbleached linen also absorbs moisture much better than bleached linen. The cloth has a sturdy sewn-on hanger, which makes it easy to hang on a hook after use.

Because the Gysing cloth is woven in a traditional shuttle loom with the same weft thread running back and forth in the weave – not cut at the edges as in modern robot looms – it has a real selvedge and the cloth lasts longer.

In fact, the Gysinget cloth is like an old-fashioned coarse linen towel, the kind that used to hang in barns, and for those who need a coarse towel, it can of course still be used as such. With its discreet goose eye pattern and real selvedge, it is also useful as a tablecloth. Few textiles are smoother and shinier after mangling than Gysingetrasan. Otherwise, Gysinget cloth is primarily designed for floor cutting. Because it is large and sturdy, you can soak and rinse the floors much more effectively than with small, modern cloths. It is also excellent in the shower, as a mat in the bathroom and generally in wet areas where you want to keep dry.
