Bring some woodland wonder and beauty to your kitchen with the Lapuan Kankurit Metsikkö (Grove) Tea Towel. Among the flora and fauna are mushrooms, trees, foxes, squirrels, owls, and birds in an earthy brown across a cream backdrop. Made from 100% a blend of organic cotton and linen, the opposite side shows the same imagery in a reverse colorway. It's perfect for drying hands and dishes, but also makes a wonderful gift. Give it as a bonus present when you use it to wrap a bottle of wine or homemade bread. It can also be framed to serve as textile art!
Care: Machine washable. Follow instructions on tag. Also has looped tag for hanging
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
The forest depiction is truly lovely to look at. It washes well and, though the label says no tumble dry, I find that putting in a cool dryer for a minute after mostly air drying leaves the linen soft. This towel is not as thick and absorbent as the Kala and Koira Jakissa towels.

I've created a nice collection of Lapuan Kankurit dish towels purchased from FinnStyle over the course of a few years. They get softer and better with every wash and outshine the other brands.
