| Hello
Are tea towels and dish towels the same thing? (fabric used to dry and wipe your dishes with). . Or do you have another name for them? Dish cloths for washing dishes with. Hand towels for drying hands with. That may sound like a silly question to ask but each place has its own name for things. Thank you |

| Hello stitcheasy...I'm Karen from the UK and over here we use teatowels for drying dishes....dishcloths for washing them.....flannels for washing our faces and hand towels for drying our hands! I dont think it's a silly question at all,its great to find out what people in other countries call every day items! I have a friend in the USA who one sent me some 'tip towels' which seemed to be a little smaller than a hand towel but bigger than a flannel, but they're much too pretty to use for anything! |

| Tea towels are smaller than dish towels and often linen or cotton. Many are used for show in the kitchen and people collect them. |
