Wintry winds have picked up frozen flowers in this pattern called Hyhmä (Frost). Designer Aino-Maija Metsola used watercolors to create the beautiful blossoms in shades of icy grey-blue and red-orange on a deep blue backdrop. Acrylic-coated cotton makes minor messes easily wiped clean, but also allows it to be machine washable for more major spills. It feels coarser than untreated cotton, but still feels like fabric and not like vinyl of earlier placemats. Plus, the eco-friendly treatment helps to avoid wrinkling when folded!
Care: Machine washable. Follow instructions on tag.

I now have four different pattern sets of the Marimekko Acrylic-coated mats. They are so perfect for the table. Spills wipe off easily with a damp cloth. Our table always looks so inviting. No worry about messy kids or grown-up "opps" spills. These are perfect for the dinning room. We love them.
Pros
Quick clean-up. Wash beautifully. Worth the price.
