Description
Designed by Ida Korsström. The blanket is a luxurious blend of cotton and fine merino! The blanket is woven and finished in Lapua Kankurit’s own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. SHAKKI is a jacquard woven wool throw inspired by the colours, patterns and light of Florence. During a stay at an artist residency in Italy in February 2020, Ida collected impressions from the surfaces and architecture around the city, and from the subtle tones of the Italian landscape in the winter. This material was then translated into a soft wool throw. As a product the throw is an embodiment of comfort, and a heritage piece for the home. In SHAKKI the classic checkerboard pattern is reimagined through the gradient, creating an illusion of light and shadow.
Traceable natural materials
The blend of cotton and merino wool makes for a durable fabric. The warp yarn is made of certified organic cotton, while the weft yarn is spun in the EU area from South American, fine-fibre and soft merino wool. The wool is mulesing-free: we only work with responsible and certified spinning mills which adhere to our code of conduct. The yarns have been spun and dyed according to the REACH regulations, and they meet the requirements of the OEKO-TEX certificate.
Own transparent production
Our own production in Lapua, Finland, enables us to develop new textile innovations and to combine the best materials together. We want to be responsible for the production of our products ourselves, starting from the yarn all the way to the finished product. This is why the most significant part of the production is done in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland.
The product design, material purchases, loom programming and warping as well as the pre-work stages, weaving and fabric inspection are done in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. If necessary, the sewing is done in our subsidiary’s own sewing department in Kaunas, Lithuania, or in our own sewing department in Lapua. The product finishing is done in our finishing plant in Lapua.
