Colourful home textiles made from industry leftovers!

When factories dye yarns to weave textiles, they make some extra, just in case. But often, those leftovers go unused. Odds & Ends is designed to make the most of these colourful remainders, turning them into endless unexpected colour combinations.

checkered check 2.0
This tea towel comes in a design I call checkered check; it’s a check on top of a check. This double check allows for a fun collaboration of the different remainders used on the warp and weft. The tea towel is woven on a jacquard machine and comes with the same signature striped edge as the other Odds & Ends textiles. It’s now even more colourful, with more remainders on the weft input of the loom.

colors
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 exactly the same or slightly different from the ones you see in the photos on this page.

Care Instructions
All Odds & Ends textiles can be washed at 60°C on the cotton program with similar colours, however we recommend to wash them at 30 to make the last longer. Use organic colour-safe detergent to keep hues vibrant. Line drying will help prolong the life of your items. For terry products—especially those with a velour finish—an occasional tumble dry on medium heat will help maintain softness without needing fabric softeners. In areas with hard water, a rinse with citric acid or vinegar can soften both towels and your washing machine.

Care Instructions
All Odds & Ends textiles can be washed at 60°C on a cotton programme with similar colours. For a longer life, we recommend washing at 30°C. An organic, colour-safe detergent can help keep the colours looking bright, while line drying can help your textiles last even longer.

For terry products, especially those with a velour finish, occasional tumble drying at medium heat can help keep them soft without the need for fabric softener. If you live in an area with hard water, a little citric acid or vinegar in the rinse can help soften both the water and your towels.

Snags
Some Odds & Ends products are woven with terry loops to give them that soft, absorbent texture. When new, these loops can be a little more prone to snagging, so watch out for jewellery during the first few uses.

If a snag happens, don’t worry. Simply cut it off with a pair of sharp scissors. Whatever you do, don’t pull it! Cutting the snag prevents it from running further and won’t damage the woven structure. With time and use, the fibres become less prone to snagging.

Production
Odds & Ends textiles are made in Portugal using 100% cotton industry remainders. These are small quantities of yarn left over from other textile productions. Instead of going to waste, they get a second life as something useful and beautiful.

Colours
Odds & Ends towels are made in small batches using surplus industry yarns, so colours can vary from one batch to another. We keep the overall palette consistent, so pieces within the same colour family still work well together. Your towel may look slightly different from the one in the photos, but the overall colour and feel will remain the same.
