Harvest Scatter Tea Towel

Most fall prints stay inside rust and gold. This one puts pale blue and soft grey leaves in among the coral, rust and sage — cool colours in an autumn print, which is an unusual choice and the whole reason it can hang in a kitchen that already has blue in it. There are half a dozen leaf shapes in the mix too, oak and maple and birch and a long laurel, each drawn separately rather than stamped from one.

It's scattered rather than set in a repeat, so no two folds look the same, and underneath it's the same Geoweave: seven times its weight in liquid, dry again quickly, no wrinkles. If you have someone who hosts Thanksgiving every year and already owns everything for it, this is the small thing that gets used rather than stored.

Why It Works

• Pale blue and grey among the autumn colours, so it suits a blue-and-white kitchen
• Half a dozen leaf shapes, each drawn separately rather than one shape repeated
• Scattered rather than a tight repeat, so it looks different every time it's folded
• Holds seven times its weight — real capacity for the wet end of the season
