linen towel

Woven drying fabric

A linen towel is a towel made from linen fabric—woven from flax fibers.

Linen towels are prized for absorbency, durability, and a textured feel that softens with use.

They appear most often in kitchens as dish towels and in bathrooms as hand towels: She dried the glasses with a linen towel.
