Kaamos Wool Blanket

A lovely piece of natural dyed local Finnsheep wool blanket. Natural white and woad (blue) colour. Size 100 x 150 cm 

This lovely, soft and warm blanket was designed by Hanna Galtat. Hanna’s cooperation with Lapuan Kankurit began with the Aalto University's PatternLab project. Designed during the project, the KAAMOS blanket was inspired by the daily cycle of light and darkness.

This product is woven and finished in Lapua from wool yarn spun from locally sourced Finnsheep fibre, mixed fibre and certified Wool Integrity NZ fibre. The warp used is South American wool fibre spun in Europe. The wool is dyed with plant dyes in Lappajärvi, Finland.

Lapuan Kankurit: Our strategy is to be responsible for the whole production from yarn to readymade products. Main part of our whole production is made in our own weaving mill in Lapua. For this product the product development, material purchases, programming of looms and design as well as warping, weaving, finishing and fabric inspection is done in Lapua in our own weaving mill.

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.
