Bloom tea towel design by Susy Pilgrim Waters — handprinted flour sack cotton, made in the USA. © PilgrimWaters 2026.

Our Bloom Tea Towel features an original illustration by Susy Pilgrim Waters — a botanical design carrying the words Bloom where you are planted. It's the kind of quiet encouragement that belongs in a kitchen, where so much of daily life takes root. Designed in our Gloucester, Massachusetts studio and hand-printed in nearby Rhode Island.

Measuring an approx. 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 is unique, making every towel a small PilgrimWaters original.

ABOUT OUR BLOOM TEA TOWEL ARTWORK & DESIGN CARE GUIDE FAQ

What is a flour sack tea towel, and why do you use it?

Flour sack cotton is a tightly woven, lint-free cotton originally used to bag flour — and it's simply the best material for a working kitchen towel. It's exceptionally absorbent, soaking up spills far better than standard terry cloth, yet lightweight and quick-drying, so it's ready to use again in minutes. It won't leave fibres on your glassware, and with every wash it gets softer and more supple. It's the towel preferred by many serious cooks — and the reason we've used it from the start.

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. The Bloom carries a message — Bloom where you are planted — that feels right at any new beginning. Original artwork, made in the USA, practical enough for daily use and distinctive enough to hang on a wall. It makes a perfect housewarming gift, a thoughtful new home gift, a gentle encouragement gift, or a meaningful present for anyone who loves botanicals, gardening, or a considered kitchen. Leave a note at checkout and we'll add a personal message.

How big is it?

Approx. 30" × 30" (76 × 76 cm) — generously sized for everyday kitchen use. Flour sack cotton has a natural stretch and give, so these aren't precision-cut squares. Each towel is a little different, which is part of what makes them handmade.

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.
