Colorful home textiles – made of industry leftovers
When factories dye yarns to weave textiles, they make some extra – just incase – but they often go unused. The Odds & Ends textiles are designed to get the most out of these remainders, creating endless unexpected color combinations!
wild weave
Wild weave refers to the original process of weaving and the archetype tea towel. In this design, many different colors come together in an unexpected but interesting way.
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 a pair of 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.
With a cardboard hangtag designed by Rachel Sender.
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.
