Embroidered Cotton Placemat

A soft cotton placemat with a raised embroidered pattern worked into the cloth rather than printed on it, so the texture survives washing. It sits flat, it folds away, and it takes a hot plate without the drama of a hard mat.

Details

• Two designs to choose from, shown in the photographs
• Soft woven cotton with raised embroidery
• Rectangular, sized for a standard place setting
• Machine washable
• Sold singly

Where to put it

A dining table, a breakfast bar, or under a tea tray. Cloth mats suit a table you actually eat at every day, where a rigid mat gets pushed to one side.

Care

Cool machine wash and a warm iron on the reverse. Press from the back rather than the front, which keeps the raised embroidery standing rather than flattening it.
