Finally, a hop that helps with the cleanup.

Humulus lupulus has spent a couple of centuries earning its keep in beer. This Swedish dishcloth puts a vintage-style botanical illustration of the hop vine on your kitchen counter, where it pitches in on the dishes too. It's a small piece of hop heritage that also works for a living.

Designed by Knapping Press and made by Three Bluebirds, it's a fitting gift for the craft beer fan, the homebrewer, the hop-farming family, or anyone who loves a kitchen with a story. The set of two is easy to split: one for your sink, one for the friend who'll ask where you found it.
