What are Tea Towels made from?Updated 2 days ago
TL;DR: Tea Towels are made from 80% polyester and 20% polyamide (PA), with a durable 410 GSM weight. Each pack contains two weaves, waffle and diamond, both 60 by 40 cm. They absorb up to 7 times their weight in water, dry around 4 times faster than cotton, and are machine washable.
What fabric are they made from?
✓ Fabric and weight
Each towel is made from 80% polyester and 20% polyamide (PA), with a weight of 410 grams per square metre (GSM). The high GSM gives the towel bulk and absorbency compared with lightweight cloths, while still drying quickly between uses.
✓ How they perform
The towels absorb up to 7 times their weight in water and dry around 4 times faster than cotton, without leaving paper-towel lint on glassware, which is what makes the diamond weave good for a streak-free polish.
What size are they and how are they made?
✓ Dimensions and build
Size: 60 by 40 cm per towel.
Fabric: durable 410 GSM, machine washable.
Reusable: a durable alternative to disposable paper towel.
What weaves are in the pack?
Each 2-pack contains one waffle weave and one diamond weave. Same fabric and size, different surface textures, so you can match the weave to the job.
✓ Waffle weave
Textured surface that holds more moisture, ideal for heavy-duty drying and quick absorption. Same 410 GSM fabric as the diamond weave, woven to a different pattern.
✓ Diamond weave
Tighter, smoother surface that's great for polishing glassware and a streak-free finish. Same 410 GSM fabric as the waffle weave, woven flatter.
