Artist Teemu Järvi uses his illustrations to captures those fleeting moments in nature when one becomes face to face with a wild animal. Using Finnish reed pens to ink his designs, he says, "I feel like I'm drawing nature with nature itself." The passion of his strokes are preserved on this tea towel made in Finland. Lapuan Kankurit is the perfect partner for Järvi, as it has uses natural materials and colors with a focus on sustainability. Lapuan Kankurit is the only Scandinavian weaving mill qualified to use the European 'Master of Linen' logo on its products because of the fine materials and refined skill put into each product. The black and white threads give the illusion of many shades of grey on this kitchen essential, which features a moose (hirvi). It's perfect for drying hands and dishes, lining bread baskets, or as a placemat. When not in use, fold it over and oven door handle or hang it by the attached loop. It also makes a wonderful hostess gift, and can even be framed to serve as textile wall art.
Care: Machine washable. Follow instructions on looped hanging tag.
Four generations of weavers unite to create the heritage-strong brand of Lapuan Kankurit, currently ran by Jaana and Esko Hjelt. The family business began as a wool and felt boot factory in 1917 creating quality wool textiles. Today, the same heart and soul goes into Lapuan Kankurit product... More Lapuan Kankurit

I have not washed this towel yet, but am very pleased with the integral woven design and thickness of the towel. Have purchased more for house warming gifts.
