Finnish Linen Terry Blend Cosmetic Sponge

Finnish Linen Terry Blend Cosmetic Sponge
£13.00
Ex Tax: £10.83
A circular cosmetic sponge, with hand strap on the reverse, made from loop- and flat-woven 70% linen and 30% cotton terry fabric, woven by the master weavers at Lapuan Kankurit, in the Ostrobothnian district of western Finland. Measuring 15cm in diameter, this sponge is great for gently exfoliating your skin as you wash. Pair with your favourite facial soap or wash. Lapuan Kankurit, a fourth-generation weaving family, has been creating its beautiful linen fabrics for over 45 years. Set up initially by husband and wife Juha and Liisa Hjelt, it is now run by their son Esko and his wife Jaana. Devoted to their craft, they weave nothing but the absolute best quality, with uncompromising workmanship, using only natural raw materials, such as linen and wool. All their linen is grown in Central Europe using as the describe it only earth and rainwater.

Care Advice

Wash separately at 40 — 60°C, in plenty of water. Avoid softener and bleach, especially on towels as this can affect their absorbency. Do not tumble dry and reshape while damp. Linen bought “Unwashed” will shrink by approximately 7% after washing, its surface wrinkling and softening. Iron while the fabric is still damp, remembering that linen dries quickly.
  • Weight g 30g
  • Item Dimensions ⌀14.5 x H2
  • Materials 70% linen, 30% cotton, and sponge
