FAQs
Can I use this towel to handle hot pans?
No, this is a standard cotton tea towel designed for drying. It is not heat-rated for use as a pot holder or trivet.
Is the Mourne Tea Towel safe to machine wash?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend following standard care instructions to preserve the color and fiber integrity.
Does the towel shrink after washing?
Because it is made from natural cotton, some minor shrinkage is normal. To minimize this, always avoid tumble drying and air dry instead.
Where is this tea towel designed?
The Mourne collection is designed in-house by the Ulster Weavers team in Northern Ireland.
What should I do if I spill a stain on the towel?
Treat the stain immediately with a gentle stain remover suitable for cotton, then wash as directed. Do not use bleach.
Troubleshooting
Towel feels stiff after air drying
A quick iron on a medium setting while slightly damp will help soften the cotton fibers and restore their texture.
Fabric color looks dull
Ensure you are washing with cold or warm water and avoiding harsh detergents. Do not leave the towel in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods to prevent UV fading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mourne Tea Towel remains in peak condition, proper care is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash with like colors using a mild detergent.
- Bleaching: Never use chlorine or oxygen bleach, as this will permanently damage the delicate pigment of the purple dye.
- Drying: Air dry the towel completely by hanging it flat or over a line. Avoid the tumble dryer, as high heat can shrink natural cotton and break down the fibers prematurely.
- Ironing: For a professional look, iron on a medium heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp to smooth out wrinkles effectively.
