dish towel
Dries wet plates
A dish towel is a cloth used for drying dishes, utensils, and hands in the kitchen.
Dish towels hang near the sink and see heavy use: Hand me that dish towel.
They're typically made of cotton or linen and are more absorbent than decorative kitchen towels.
Called a tea towel in British English.
