Frequently Asked Questions

How many dishtowels come in a set?
Each order includes a set of 2 dishtowels, each measuring 18”×28”. Having two allows you to rotate through the wash cycle while always keeping one fresh and ready.

What is waffle weave and why does it matter for dishtowels?
Waffle weave is a textured cotton weave with a grid-like pattern of raised squares. The texture increases surface area, making the towel significantly more absorbent and faster-drying than a flat-woven towel. It also becomes softer and more absorbent with each wash.

Are these dishtowels machine washable?
Yes. Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. The 100% cotton waffle weave holds up well to repeated washing and actually improves in absorbency over time.

What size are these dishtowels?
Each towel measures 18” wide × 28” long — a standard full-size dishtowel that’s large enough to dry a full load of dishes or wrap around a mixing bowl.

Do these coordinate with other Tinderbox Brown Plaid products?
Yes — these dishtowels are part of the Tinderbox Brown Plaid collection, which includes matching dishcloths, placemats, table runners, napkins, curtains, and more. Mixing pieces from the collection creates a cohesive farmhouse look throughout your kitchen and dining room.

How is a dishtowel different from a dishcloth?
Dishtowels (18”×28”) are larger and best for drying dishes, drying hands, and draping over oven handles. Dishcloths (13”×13”) are smaller and better suited for scrubbing, wiping counters, and cleaning up spills. The Tinderbox Brown Plaid collection includes both — they pair perfectly together.
