Best Fabric for Tea Towels
Whether you use them decoratively or practically, Custom Tea Towels are a fun and easy way to showcase your artwork! This week we’re talking about what fabrics we recommend for Tea Towels, which is one of the most popular products we assist our customers with!
Tea Towels are such an easy way to spice up any kitchen and they make fantastic hand-made gifts or products for your small business. Tea Towels are also one of the products we offer ‘Cut & Make’ services for so please contact us if you’ve been thinking of creating your very own custom Tea Towels!
We recommend three fabric options for custom Tea Towels from our Fabric Range; Cotton Linen, Cotton Drill and Mona all are made from beautiful natural fibers. We’ve broken down each of these fabrics below to help you determine which one will work best for your Tea Towels.
Cotton Linen – 95% Cotton 5% Linen & 250 GSM
Cotton Linen is a fabulous natural fabric blend with a gorgeous linen texture and durable weave. The fabric has a warm off-white base colour (think cereal milk or fresh cream) and a matte finish. Its robust weave provides great colour reproduction when printed!
Our Cotton Linen is a really versatile, premium choice fabric, which gives a deluxe yet relaxed feel to homewares, garments and displays. It is often selected by customers as an alternative to Cotton Canvas fabrics and like most natural fabrics, super absorbent!

Cotton Drill – 100% Cotton & 195 GSM
Cotton Drill is a wonderful mid-weight cotton fabric with a crisp white base. The fabric is strong in construction without being heavy or rigid and features a beautiful twill weave and texture. Due to its bright white base, the Cotton Drill provides good colour reproduction when printed!
This classic Cotton is nice and durable as well! Making it a perfect contender for Tea Towels, plus, it also absorbs water really well, so no more wet streaks on your dishes!

Mona – 50% Cotton 50% Recycled Cotton & 230 GSM
This fabric is an amazing Recycled Cotton Canvas. It has a brilliant colour reproduction when printed and although stiff at first (like a true canvas), it softens up really nicely after washing.
Mona is a lovely durable fabric with that gorgeous canvas texture and although it may not seem like it’ll wipe those dishes dry, it’s super absorbent!
