Они использовались в свадебных и поминальных обрядах, в старину полотенце играло роль своеобразной иконной доски, в быту служили стеновыми полотенцами (украшали стены, зеркала) рушниками, рукошерниками, рукотерами. Для изготовления полотенец использовали белые и серые льняные холсты. Концы их украшали вышивками, тканьем, кружевом. При тканье преобладал линейно-геометрический орнамент, встречался ромб.
