What is a tea towel?
A tea towel is a piece of fabric used to dry dishes, glasses, hands, and kitchen surfaces. At Dims Studio, you’ll find tea towels chosen for their quality, colors, and patterns, so they work practically and add atmosphere to your kitchen.
Materials and types of tea towels
Most tea towels at Dims Studio are made of cotton, linen, or a blend of the two. Cotton is popular because it’s durable, absorbent, and withstands frequent washing. Linen dries extra fast and has a distinctive, slightly crinkled texture. You’ll also find woven tea towels with jacquard patterns, classic checks, stripes, or colorful prints. Some brands offer organic and GOTS-certified textiles, letting you choose based on both aesthetics and sustainability.
Sizes and dimensions of tea towels
Tea towels typically come in sizes from 40 x 60 cm to 50 x 80 cm. The standard size of 50 x 70 cm fits most kitchens and offers enough space to dry large plates and glasses. Some towels have extra length to hang nicely on a hook or rail. Smaller towels around 30 x 30 cm are often used as cloths or for hands.
