Frequently Asked Questions About the Kantha Dish Towels Set
-
What comes in the Kantha Dish Towels Set, and what size are the towels?
The set is three dish towels, each about 25 by 19 inches, with a small loop at the corner for hanging on a hook. The set is $35. Colors and patterns vary, so SERRV chooses your set for you.
-
How thick are these towels, and will they dry dishes well?
Each towel is three layers of cotton stitched together, so it is substantially thicker than a single-layer tea towel and handles drying dishes, hands, and washed produce. These towels perform better after the first few washes, once any residual finish has washed out.
-
How do you wash them?
Machine wash cold and line dry. Skip fabric softener and dryer sheets, which coat cotton fibers and cut absorbency, and wash the towels apart from anything that sheds lint. They soften with every wash rather than wearing thin, so they improve over the first year of use. Line drying also preserves the kantha stitches on each of the towels and ensures the embroidery stays strong.
-
What else can I use these towels for?
Beyond drying dishes, they work as a bread basket liner, a cover for rising dough, a casual napkin for everyday meals, or reusable gift wrap tied around a bottle or a jar. The hanging loop also makes them practical as a hand towel at the sink.
-
Are these a good alternative to paper towels?
For most everyday kitchen jobs, yes. A set of three lets you keep one in use, one drying, and one in the wash, which covers wiping counters, drying hands, and drying dishes without reaching for a roll. They are made from cotton that was already woven once as saris, so they cut waste at both ends of their life.
-
Do the Kantha Dish Towels make a good gift?
They make an easy gift because they land at an accessible price point, pack flat for shipping or travel, and are useful in any kitchen regardless of taste or decor. The hand-stitched patterns and vibrant colors make them read as a present rather than a household supply, and they pair naturally with a breadwarmer or a bottle of olive oil.
