Longfin Eel/Tuna Tea Towel
Longfin Eel/Tuna Tea Towel
From our range of New Zealand tea towel designs.
One of NZ's two eel species, longfin eels have a fascinating life cycle. Adults leave NZ to breed somewhere near Fiji and young eels come back to NZ (as glass eels), making their way up streams and rivers (as elvers) to mature.
100% natural cotton, off-white tea towels are screened with our great range of designs. 51 x 76 cm. Each tea towel is hand-printed using water based inks (heat cured to last!).

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
As a general rule we recommend the following care for our garments:
• machine wash cold with like colours
• avoid bleach
• line dry in the shade if possible
• do not dry clean
• our prints are fine to iron over (as they are heat cured)
• designs can fade over time, and fading is hastened by frequent hot washes.

Our family LOVE the school of huge long-finned eels that live in the Piha Stream in West Auckland. We feed them regularly and delight in showing these taonga to others. Recently, a friend was "blown away" by the eels, so when it came to her birthday, I went searching for something eel-themed - which proved to be quite difficult. Finding the tumbleweed website was very lucky, as it had just what I wanted. The quality of the cotton is excellent and the design is magic. My friend is absolutely thrilled with her present, and is even thinking of framing it. I think I'm going to have go back and buy another one for me!
