Woven from 100% hemp, which is Seed & Sprout's own pick for the most planet-friendly fabric they use. Tough, very absorbent, quick to dry, and it gets softer every time you wash it. For drying dishes and vegetables, covering dough, wrapping bread, or making a picnic look like you meant it. Available in Wheat or Olive.
Key Features
- 100% hemp. Naturally biodegradable.
- Highly absorbent. And quick drying.
- Softens with every wash. Rather than going stiff and tired.
- Discreet logo tag. It doubles as a hanging loop.
- 60cm x 40cm. A proper kitchen size.
Pūrē Standard
- No microplastics, ever. Synthetic and poly-blend tea towels shed plastic fibres into the wash every cycle, and those go straight out with the water. A natural fibre simply does not.
- Hemp is the quiet overachiever. It needs far less water than cotton to grow, needs little in the way of pesticides, and produces more fibre per hectare.
- It biodegrades at the end. A hemp tea towel eventually goes back to the soil. A microfibre one is around for centuries.
- Seed & Sprout have a real end-of-life plan. They partner with Upparel, who take back unwanted textiles, including these, and divert them from landfill. Not many homewares brands bother.
- Where we would like more. Seed & Sprout describe the fibre as organic hemp but do not publish a textile certification for it, so we cannot point you at a certificate.

Our Take
Pure hemp, so it sheds no microplastics into the wash and eventually goes back to the soil, unlike the microfibre one it replaces. It softens with every wash rather than going stiff.

Frequently asked
What is it made from?
100% hemp, which Seed & Sprout describe as organic hemp. It is highly absorbent, quick drying, and it softens beautifully over years of use.
Will it shed microplastics?
No. Synthetic and poly-blend tea towels release plastic fibres into the wash every cycle. A natural fibre simply does not, and hemp biodegrades at the end of its life.
Is it certified?
Seed & Sprout describe the fibre as organic hemp but do not publish a textile certification for it, so we cannot point you at a certificate. What they do have is a real end-of-life plan: they partner with Upparel to take back unwanted textiles, including these, and keep them out of landfill.
How do I care for it?
Machine washable, and it can be tumble dried and ironed. Expect it to soften noticeably over the first several washes.
How big is it?
60cm wide by 40cm long, in Wheat or Olive.
