These are beautiful linen and cotton damask kitchen or handtowels, woven in Germany probably around 1930. They have a ground of waffle-weave with top and bottom borders of geometric floral design. They have a cotton hook tape at the top. They have been dyed using natural indigo (no hydrosulfite, ever). The indigo has picked up the damask patterning and the shininess of the linen thread. As with denim, it has also picked up the creases where the towels have been washed - this is a reflection of the qualities of the fibre rather than a fault of the indigo. These measure 54×98cm. The price is per piece. At time of posting there are four pieces, three dark blue and one light.
