Description
KUOHU, the first pattern designed for Lapuan Kankurit by Maëlis Ray, draws inspiration from the movement of water, waves, and the texture of sea foam.
Maëlis Ray is a French textile designer who was born and raised in Lyon, the city known for its silk weaving tradition and the invention of the jacquard machine. Lapuan Kankurit discovered Maëlis at the University of Borås’ Swedish School of Textiles and were immediately impressed with her talents and keen interest in woven textiles. As the judges of the final project jury, we wanted to reward her and offered her a cash prize or a trip to Lapua to visit our weaving mill. She chose the trip to Lapua. Spring 2024 she came all the way from Lyon to Lapua to visit our weaving mill.
We weave KUOHU towels from highly absorbent linen–Tencel. This lightweight, quick-drying towel is a practical, beautiful, and environmentally friendly choice. In the material developed by Lapuan Kankurit, absorbent linen is combined with Tencel. Tencel is a European innovation made from wood fibre using environmentally responsible processes. By combining these two fibres, Lapuan Kankurit has created a wonderfully soft and highly absorbent towel material that takes the bathing experience to a whole new level.
The KUOHU hand towel is versatile and suitable for both bathroom and kitchen use. The towel’s absorbency is activated already during production through a washing treatment, so it is ready to use right away. Linen–Tencel products are exceptionally absorbent and dry quickly, making them hygienic in everyday use.
The towels are easy to combine with the super-popular TERVA towels.
This product has a hanging loop on the long side.
Traceable natural materials
Made of comfortable and breathable natural fibres: flax, Tencel and cotton. The warp is made of Tencel Lyocell and cotton fibre and the weft is made of linen yarn. Our linen, grown with the power of rainwater in Central Europe, is 100 % traceable and Masters of Linen–certified. Tencel is a European invention, a responsibly produced wood pulp fibre. Its production is FSC–certified which guarantees that the wood used as raw material in the production is responsibly sourced.
The yarns have been spun and dyed in the EU area according to the REACH regulations.
Own transparent production
Our own production in Lapua, Finland, enables us to develop new textile innovations and to combine the best materials together, of which this textile is a soft example. 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. 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, Finland.
