Description
The Barton towels are pure cotton, woven in a gingham check that carries a soft denim blue across a cream ground. This is a yarn-dyed check, which means the blue and cream yarns are dyed before weaving rather than printed on afterwards, so the pattern runs right through the cloth and holds its colour through repeated washing. The towelling is looped terry, and the check reads clearly on both faces. There are five sizes in the range, from a face cloth up to an extra-large bath sheet, so you can match the smallest hand size through to the largest wrap.
These suit a bathroom that leans relaxed rather than formal, and the blue and cream check sits happily alongside painted wood, plain white tiling and warm neutral walls. A gingham towel is a good middle ground if you want a little pattern without a full colour scheme, since the cream ground keeps it light and the blue is muted rather than sharp. Fold a bath sheet over a bench, hang a hand towel by the basin, and the check does the decorating for you. The larger bath sheet sizes are generous enough to wrap around comfortably after a bath or shower.
Being cotton, the cloth is absorbent and pulls water off the skin well, and it becomes softer with use. It is an easy-care towel made for machine washing and drying, so it fits straight into a normal laundry routine. Yarn-dyed cotton keeps its colour longer than a printed cloth, which matters on something washed as often as a towel. Choose the size or sizes that suit your bathroom, and the check ties the set together whether you buy one or several.

Frequently Asked
What are the towels made from?
They are made from 100% pure cotton, which is naturally absorbent and gentle on the skin, and tends to soften further with each wash.
Will the check fade in the wash?
The pattern is yarn-dyed, meaning the yarns are coloured before weaving, so the check holds its colour better than a printed towel through regular laundering.
Which sizes can I choose from?
The range runs from a small face cloth through hand and bath sizes up to an extra-large bath sheet, so you can build a matching set.
Can I tumble dry these towels?
Yes, they are an easy-care design made for machine washing and drying, which suits a towel that needs frequent laundering.
Does the check show on both sides?
Yes, because the pattern is woven rather than printed the gingham check reads clearly on both faces of the towelling.
