Everything is cotton, or cotton with linen. What changes is how it's woven — and that changes what each towel is good at.

questions
- Will they shrink?
- A little — around 3–5% in the first hot wash, mostly in length. Sizes on the site are before washing.
- Are the colours fast?
- Dark teal and ink can release some dye in the first washes. Wash them with darks a few times.
- Lint?
- Waffle and terry shed a little at first. For polishing glass, use the plain weave or flour sack towels.
- Do you ship outside the US?
- Not yet. We only ship to US addresses.
