Staithes sea kelp 100%organic cotton tea towel

A wonderful tea towel on 100%organic cotton. A luxury quality item for your kitchen, this tea towel illustrates the benefits of sea kelp foraged from Staithes in North Yorkshire as a delicacy. Staithes is a fishing village that has it's own unique gansey pattern (a knitted fishermen' jumper),the ladies wore a distinct Staithes bonnet, and the lobster pots had their own knots and design, Captain Cook spent time in Staithes, there are village customs and folklore tales including the tale of the 2 mermaids. This tea towel shows the heritage and uses the palette of the local area. If you have been to Staithes you will know how lovely and quaint it is. There are so many small cottages for rent and many places to try the local seafood. A number of notable artists have spent their time here in the past and this tea towel celebrates my time spent at the yearly Staithes arts festival. Bring the outdoors into your kitchen and some heritage art of a local dish!
