Our Seafood Tea Towel features an original illustration by Susy Pilgrim Waters — a lively medley of crabs, lobsters, and shellfish that brings a coastal spirit into your kitchen. Inspired by New England’s working waterfront, it celebrates shellfish, and coastal sea animals that define life by the sea.
Measuring a generous 30” square, these towels are printed on 100% flour sack cotton — absorbent, durable, and beautifully finished. Use them as stylish placemats, wrap freshly baked bread, or hang them as kitchen art. Each printing batch is unique, making every towel a small PilgrimWaters original.

Why flour sack cotton?
It’s simply the best material for a working kitchen towel. Flour sack cotton is lint-free — so it won’t leave fibres on your glassware — and exceptionally absorbent, soaking up spills and moisture far better than a standard terry cloth. It’s lightweight and dries quickly, so it’s ready to use again in minutes. With every wash it gets softer, becoming more supple and pleasant to handle over time. It’s the towel preferred by many serious cooks — and the reason we’ve used it from the start.
What is a flour sack tea towel?
Flour sack cotton is a tightly woven, lint-free cotton originally used to bag flour. It’s exceptionally absorbent, dries quickly, and gets softer with every wash — which makes it the ideal canvas for a printed kitchen towel that actually works.
Will the print fade after washing?
Screenprinted inks are set to last. Wash warm with like colors and avoid bleach. The colors will fade slightly after several repeat washes — a natural characteristic of the hand-printing process.
Is it a good gift?
It’s one of our most-gifted items — and for good reason. Original artwork, made in the USA, practical enough for daily use and distinctive enough to hang on a wall. It travels beautifully to a housewarming, feels right at home in a beach cottage or coastal kitchen, and makes a thoughtful host gift, wedding gift, or present for any seafood lover or New England kitchen. Leave a note at checkout and we’ll add a personal message.
How big is it?
A generous 30” × 30” (76 × 76 cm). Bigger than most — large enough to use as a placemat, bread wrap, or impromptu gift wrap, as well as for everyday kitchen tasks.
Will it be restocked?
Yup. Each design is re-printed when we run low. When a batch sells out we reprint, but the next batch will have its own unique characteristics — no two batch colors are truly identical.
Can I return or exchange my tea towel?
Returns are accepted within 14 days of purchase on items that are unused and in their original condition. Read our full return policy for details.
