Beautiful antique French red striped old creamy linen/hemp household towels from the 1800's. Soft but durable, these towels will last forever with the proper care. We have a thin stripe, a bold stripe and a double striped towel here. All of these towels need washing as these are right out of a cupboard from an old French farmhouse. We aquired a large lot from one dealer. We also purchased some of these for our stitchers as I think they are perfect for any needlwork projects as well as being used as towels. Each one of these has a loop hanger and has the initials HP on them.
To clean hemp, linen or nettle wash in your washing machine with soap and warm water. Once removed from washing machine, snap out any wrinkles. Hang to dry and then press with a hot iron. The more these fibers are washed, the softer they become.
These measure 23" x 31".
