![]() ![]() Tea towels can also be used to add atmosphere and color, to your kitchen. I am going to look into a monogrammed one for my future daughter-in-law. The linen towel is for the drying of items, the terry is for hands! I always try to buy a souvenir tea towel and gift them as well. So I have two towel handles for my family and have taught them the rules. I have been a fan of tea towels for decades as my dear mother-in-law presented me with my first and explained it was strictly for drying fine china which we didn't use often, but also for stemware, which we use daily for wine etc. I think originally they must have been used more formally for presentation of tea in a tray rather than just for drying. How does tea have anything to do with drying? Most people just use them to dry dishes but when I looked for these under drying cloths I couldn't find anything and then had to think "tea" towels. It made me think about lining a tray with the tea towel to prevent scratches on a new tray and to wrap up rotis. The next day I had some men working in the kitchen and when I made them some tea I put the cups on the tea towel knowing how men can be when working. I used a tea towel the other day when I took some glass items out of the dishwasher, I didn't want the still damp items to wet the counter. They can last for many, many years longer than store bought. Handwoven tea towels in linen or cotton are lovely and much nicer than store bought towels. ![]()
