Swedish Dishcloth, Black Bees and Bugs on Sand

Bees, beetles and other insects, printed in black on warm sand.

A naturalist's plate, and Three Bluebirds' bestselling design.

• Three Bluebirds says each cloth absorbs 20 times its weight
• 70% wood cellulose, 30% cotton
• Water based inks, screen printed in Cos Cob, Connecticut
• Three Bluebirds says it washes up to 200 times, in the top rack of the dishwasher or in the washing machine
• Breaks down in a home compost pile at the end of its life (not certified compostable)
• No animal-derived ingredients, so vegan

The maker
Three Bluebirds is a family business in Cos Cob, Connecticut, screen printing cloths in small batches since 2013 with water based inks. They are a 1% for the Planet member.

Why it is on our shelf
Family owned since 2013, screen printed in Connecticut, and made of two materials we can name.

The swap
Assuming it takes the place of one roll of paper towels every three weeks, one cloth replaces 17 rolls in its first year. Wash it, reuse it, and put it in your home compost when it wears out.

Small choices add up.
