Knokkon Nettle-cotton Tablecloth

Nettle-cotton Tablecloth

Thanks to its material, the nettle-cotton tablecloth is an ecological alternative for dressing the table. The tablecloth is made of nettle and cotton and has a plain weave that makes the surface of the cloth beautifully smooth. The material adds a silky, muted sheen to the appearance of the cloth. As it’s pre-washed, the tablecloth will not shrink much more in the wash. The cloth softens with washing.

Care instructions:

Wash Knokkon’s textiles separately from other laundry, as natural fibres may shed lint, especially after the first few washes. It’s a good idea to fill the washing machine half full so that any loose fibres are properly rinsed out. Wash at 40°C. If necessary, you can wash up to 90°C if the product is very stained. Does not need to be tumble-dried, drying flat or on a line is sufficient. No dry-cleaning or bleaching. Iron up to 150°C (two points).

One day in July 2017, I read a comment on a thread about nettles as a source of yarn. Today, Knokkon is an online shop for ecological nettle and hemp-made yarns and products for consumers and businesses. Read more about Knokkon from this link.
