Finnish Washed Linen Flat-Weave Bath Towel, Blue Stripe

Finnish Washed Linen Flat-Weave Bath Towel, Blue Stripe
£68.00
Ex Tax: £56.67
A generously proportioned, 100% linen flat woven summer towel, woven by the master weavers at Lapuan Kankurit, in the Ostrobothnian district of western Finland. Measuring 95 x 180cm, in natural, undyed linen, with woven-in stripes in bright, summery blue, this classic towel is great for bathroom, beach and pool, and will also work equally well as a light throw, to keep you warm on cooler evenings in the garden. 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 they 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.

  • Item Dimensions L180 x W95
  • Materials 100% washed linen
