Description

The SHAKKI blanket is designed by Ida Korsström. This jacquard-woven merino wool blanket draws inspiration from the colours, patterns, and light of Florence. During her visit to an artist residency in Italy in February 2020, Ida gathered impressions from the city’s varied surfaces and architecture, as well as the subtle shades of the Italian winter landscape. This inspiration was transformed into a soft wool blanket. As a product, the SHAKKI blanket exudes comfort and carries its significance from one generation to the next. Its classic checkerboard pattern is reimagined through a gradient, creating the illusion of light and shadow.

The SHAKKI blanket is a luxurious blend of cotton and merino wool. Its triple-layered structure makes it wonderfully heavy and warm, helping the body relax quickly under its comforting weight. The blanket is finished in our production process to be exceptionally soft, making it a pleasure to touch even against bare skin.

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.

Care instructions

Only wash if textile is very dirty, otherwise take textile outdoors in fresh air for a while. Hand wash at max. 30°C or dry clean. If using powder detergent, dissolve it in plenty of water. Immerse the blanket in the water and wash immediately. Squeeze gently. Do not scrub, stretch or wring out. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out most of the water. Press the blanket between towels until half-dry and leave it to dry in an airy space. Do not tumble dry. Iron with a damp cloth, max. 150°C.

Sustainable production


Developing the best textiles in the world is our passion. The world is changing, and Lapuan Kankurit has the courage to develop entirely new products and invest in our own production.


Our top designs are woven in Lapua, in the middle of the Ostrobothnian fields. Our own mill, the young, open-minded professionals, and the experienced older craftsmen who work there allow us to make our products a little better every day.

We use only natural raw materials. We know where our materials come from, and we also know all the working stages from thread to finished product. This produces a result we can be proud of.

Get to know material

Wool

Wool is a true natural material, one of its best qualities being heat insulation. Wool keeps you warm in the winter cold and feels nice and cool in the summer heat.

We have made massive investments to be able to make products from local Finnish wool, as well. Besides Finnish sheep wool, we also buy wool fibres and partly ready-made yarn from explicitly certified suppliers.
