multi cloth
You wonder, what is a multi cloth? Well, it can be anything! Use it in the kitchen as a dishcloth, reusable paper towel, or clean any home surface. Use it in the bathroom as a washcloth or face towel. Use it on the table as a napkin or potholder. Use it for baby as a burp cloth or on the go to clean kids’ hands.
checkered check
A set of colourful multi-cloths in a design I call a checkered check; it’s a check on top of a check. The design allows for a fun collaboration between the different remainders on the warp and weft. The towel is airy; the front and back 50% terry and 50% flat, allowing it to dry quickly and use it for very wet purposes.
colours
As the towels are produced with small batches of industry remainders they vary in color, however, the general palette is always maintained and the towels from a certain color palette will go together easily. The towel you receive might be the same or slightly different from the ones you see in the photos on this page. The duo consists of one towel with mostly cold tones, and one with mostly warm tones.
Care and laundry instructions
All Odds & Ends textiles can be washed in the cotton program of your washer at 30 degrees Celsius with similar colors. Using organic powder detergent for color will keep colors bright for a long time. Line drying will also extend the life cycle off Odds & Ends. However, terry items such as fluffy towels – especially those with a velour finish – can benefit from an occasional drying session with the dryer at medium heat. This will soften the fibers without the need for a chemical softener. If the water in your area is rich in lime, you can treat your towels and washing machine with a citric acid or vinegar rinse from time to time to soften them.
Snags
This product is woven with terry loops to make it soft and absorbent. Terry loops are prone to snags in newly woven fabrics, so please be careful with jewelry when you first use this item. If snags do occur, don’t panic. Simply and safely cut them off with sharp scissors – never pull on snags – and the snag won’t run any further, nor will this harm the woven structure. After the first use the fibers will get less prone to snags.
The odds & ends editions are produced in batches. The factory collects remainders and I use these colours to create a new design which is then produced. That exact design is only a start, along the production the left overs run out and are replaced with similar colours. Therefor the images you see in the photo’s are an indication of what the towels look like, but there’s small variations within the batch.
Recognize a Odds & Ends towel by it’s signature striped hem. Each item in the collection comes with this hem that is made on a jacquard machine.
The Odds & Ends textiles are produced in Portugal with 100% cotton industry remainders. That’s small batches of yarn that are left over from other productions.
Each item comes with a hang tag or sleeve designed by Rachel Sender. On the back you find more information about the project.

I made several designs with the idea that they get only more interesting if we use more colours, read: even the smallest remainders. The designs are produced in several similar colours and even within the edition there’s differences, because when colours run out they are replaced with new ones and that’s where coincidence takes over :D!
All items are designed to dry quickly and come with a label for hanging.
