“Dock Green Stripe – Pure Linen for the Kitchen by Libeco”

Dock Green Stripe – Pure Linen for the Kitchen by Libeco – quite cool with a stonewash look… The designer says: “The docks of the French coastal town Camaret provided the inspiration for this collection. This new member of the Libeco kitchen towel family with its robust construction is already a classic.”

Kitchen towels made from organic linen

Known as “pit towels” (Grubentuecher), kitchen towels made from linen or half-linen have had a remarkable career in German gastronomy. But first they were an integral part of every miner’s equipment. Today, more and more households feature kitchen towels made from organic linen. They simply impress with their properties: dirt-repellent, quick-drying, hypoallergenic and antibacterial. Whether in the classic small check pattern in black-and-white or blue-and-white, or in the typical muted solid linen colours – kitchen towels made from organic linen are reliable and long-lasting helpers in every kitchen. Among their many advantages is of course their environmental friendliness and sustainability. Organic flax cultivation takes place entirely without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilisers. The strong and very dense flax fibre makes kitchen towels from organic linen exceptionally durable kitchen helpers that only become more beautiful over time. We guarantee this through the GOTS standard, which certifies our kitchen towels from European organic linen.

Care Instructions

Coloured linen can be washed at up to 60°C, white at up to 95°C. As with all materials, the same applies to linen: washing at lower temperatures extends its life. What linen cannot tolerate are detergents with optical brighteners – they bleach out the natural colours significantly and the fabric becomes pale. Creasing: linen needs sufficient residual moisture so that it does not crease too much. Do not overload the machine so that the fabric can move freely, and do not spin linen laundry too hard or too long. If you wish to iron linen, iron the pieces on the hot linen setting of your iron while they are still slightly damp. Even though it may be convenient: avoid drying linen in the tumble dryer. Over-drying can cause shrinkage.
