Description
This cotton tea towel brings a classic Christmas print to the kitchen, with little robins perched on pink crackers, red birds in flight, decorated trees and bow-tied holly wreaths, each set inside a ring of green and gold leaves. Between the rings sit candy canes, baubles and sprigs of holly with red berries, all on a soft cream ground that keeps the whole design light and cheerful. It is made from 100% cotton and measures 50cm wide and 70cm long, a generous size that covers a good stretch of worktop or a whole tray of washed glasses.
We think it earns its place on the oven rail from early December through to the last of the leftovers. It is a proper working cloth for drying up after Christmas dinner, and laid flat it will also cover a bread basket or line a tray for carrying plates to the table. The hanging strap on one corner lets it sit on a hook by the sink or on a peg rail when it is not in use, so the print stays on show all season. Its cream, red and green palette sits happily in a traditional farmhouse kitchen and in a simple white scheme alike.
Every edge is fully hemmed, which keeps the cotton neat and tidy through repeated washing. It is machine washable on a standard 30°C cycle; do not bleach, tumble dry or dry clean it, and give it a press with an iron to bring the cotton back to crisp and flat. Drying it on a line or an airer keeps it fresh between uses. For a simple seasonal present, fold it into thirds, tie it with a length of red ribbon and tuck it into a festive hamper; or simply hang it from the oven door and the kitchen is ready for Christmas.
