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.

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 to clean any surface in your home. 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 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 warp 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 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.

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.
