Colorful home textiles made of industry leftovers! When factories dye yarns to weave textiles, they make some extra—just in case—but they often go unused. The Odds & Ends textiles are designed to get the most out of these remainders, creating unexpected color combinations.
Wild Weave
Wild Weave refers to the original weaving technique and the archetypal tea towel. In this design, a variety of colours come together in an unexpected yet harmonious way.
Tea Towel
Our tea towels measure 70 x 50 cm, weigh 250 gms, and come with a hanging loop. Originating in Northern Europe, tea towels are used to dry dishes so they can be put away immediately without a drying rack. Our version is flat-woven on a jacquard loom.
Colours
Our towels are produced in small batches using industry surplus yarns, so colours may vary. However, we always maintain a consistent overall palette, ensuring all items from a particular colour family pair well together. The towel you receive may differ slightly from those shown in photos, but it will match the general tone.
Care Instructions
All Odds & Ends textiles can be washed at 30°C on the cotton program with similar colours. 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.
Each item comes with a cardboard hangtag or sleeve 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.
