Description
This cotton tea towel carries the Kitchen Garden design, an illustrated chart of home-grown produce printed under the heading Kitchen Garden, Throughout the Seasons. A dozen crops are drawn in rich, bold colour on a natural cream ground: beetroot, mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, Swiss chard, purple broccoli, red pepper, onions, courgette, avocado, tomatoes and cauliflower. Beneath each one sits its name and the months it is harvested, so tomatoes read June to September and cauliflower March to November. It is made from 100% cotton and measures 50cm wide and 70cm long, a generous size for drying a full rack of dishes.
It belongs in the kitchen, folded over the oven rail, draped beside the sink or hung from a hook by the strap on one corner, where the chart keeps the year's harvest in view while you cook. The cotton makes it a practical cloth for drying plates, glasses and pans, and the illustrations mean it looks just as good on show as it does in use. It suits a kitchen where cooking follows what is in season, and the months printed by each crop make a handy reminder of when to look out for them at the greengrocer or the market. It brings a cheerful splash of red, green and orange to plain worktops and white cupboards alike.
Every edge is fully hemmed for a neat, tidy finish. Wash it at 30°C and iron on low heat; it should not be dry cleaned, bleached or tumble dried, so hang it up to dry and it will soon be ready for the next round of washing up. It arrives folded in a bag with a printed card, which makes it an easy present to wrap or tuck into a hamper. We like it hung alongside plain linen and white crockery, letting the colours of the vegetables do the work.
