Description
The Hebden towel is pure cotton woven as terry, patterned with an even run of vertical stripes in a soft mineral blue against a cream ground. It comes in four sizes, from a 50 x 100cm hand towel through to a generous 100 x 180cm bath sheet, so you can build a matching set or buy the single size that fills the gap on your rail. The stripe is woven through the cloth rather than sitting on the surface, which is why it reads the same on both faces and keeps its clarity wash after wash.
This is a towel that earns its place in a busy family bathroom or an ensuite alike. The cream and blue palette is quiet enough to sit with brass fittings, pale tiles and painted timber, and the stripe gives a plain scheme a little rhythm without shouting. The smaller sizes work as hand towels beside a basin; the bath sheet is the one to reach for after a long soak, wide enough to wrap right around. Fold the flatter sizes over a stool or stack them on an open shelf where the stripe shows.
Cotton is the reason a towel like this works. It is naturally absorbent, so it lifts water off the skin quickly, and it launders well and softens with use rather than wearing thin. The terry loops give the pile its thirst and its weight. Wash it with like colours and it will hold both the blue and the cream cleanly. If you like the look, the four sizes are made to sit together, so a set reads as one thing on the rail rather than a collection of odds and ends.

Frequently Asked
What sizes does the Hebden towel come in?
Four sizes are available, running from a 50 x 100cm hand towel up to a 100 x 180cm bath sheet, so you can match sizes across a set.
Is the stripe printed or woven?
The stripe is woven through the terry cloth, which is why the pattern shows on both faces of the towel and stays crisp over time.
How absorbent is a pure cotton towel?
Cotton is naturally absorbent and lifts water off the skin quickly, and the terry loops add to how much moisture the towel holds.
Will the colours fade in the wash?
Wash with like colours to keep both the mineral blue and the cream reading cleanly, as you would with any coloured cotton towel.
Which size suits a bath sheet after a soak?
The 100 x 180cm size is the largest and the one to reach for when you want to wrap fully after a bath or shower.
