Linen Huck Hand Towel

Thomas Ferguson and Co (Ferguson's Irish Linen)

£36.95

The huck weave increases the amount of small interstitial spaces within the fabric. These spaces further boost the absorbency of linen. Combined with linen's natural wicking properties along it's fibres, this creates a towel that holds a lot of moisture, but is also quick to dry. Linen also resists bacterial growth (up to 60% when dew retted fibres are used, so we use dew retted for all of our yarn, it also makes them very eco-friendly). This resistance makes them extra suited for use as hand towels.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THOMAS FERGUSON & COMPANY, LIMITED, number R0000713. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "54 Scarva Road, Banbridge, BT32 3QD, Northern Ireland (Closed for Tours Currently)" — names a location but no site or process, so this corroborates uk_hq more than operations. Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
