By: bluestackgiftshop An Ulster Weavers design. 100% linen tea towel. Machine washable. Size: 48 x 74 cm (19.2" x 29.6"). Price includes postage in UK & Ireland. The Irish Wild Flowers Tea Towel will be packaged securely for posting. I love this tea towel as it depicts some of the wild flowers which appear in the country lanes outside the small market town where I grew up. I think that this would be too good to use for drying the dishes! So I would use this as a wall-hanging or frame it perhaps. Or maybe just give it away as a lovely present to someone! This type of product, of which others are advertised at http://www.bluestackgiftshop.com, is typical of the quality of product which was part of the huge linen industry of Northern Ireland. I think that it is so regrettable that this industry is almost no longer existing. Linen for me evokes many tales told by the older generation of their memories of a way of life that is long gone. The production of this fine textile involved long hours of hard work and skill but was a hugely social industry with whole communities living in the shadow of the mills, many of which still stand today.
