SAARISTO is a classic Lapuan Kankurit design dating back 20 years, brought back into production in renewed colours and qualities.
The design originated through weaving experiments and product development at Lapuankankuri’s own mill, making it an excellent example of the creative possibilities that in-house production allows. Sometimes the best ideas emerge unexpectedly. SAARISTO combines Finnish textile craftsmanship, timeless design and nature-inspired atmosphere.
They weave the sauna textiles in their own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland, using fully traceable raw materials: European long-staple linen and bio-organic cotton. Their unique finishing facility, located next to the weaving mill in Lapua, allows them to give these textiles a high-quality finish. This means that, with proper care, the textile will retain its shape in home washing and maintain its form wash after wash.
The sauna cover (48×150 cm) can also be used as a beautiful table runner.
The warp yarn used in the making of this product is 100 % linen and the weft yarn is certified organic cotton. Because the products have long lifecycles, they pay special attention to the quality and production of the flax fibre: the Masters of Linen–certified warp yarn used is made of 100 % traceable European long staple flax. The yarns have been spun and dyed in the EU area according to the REACH regulations.
Wash the new textile before use. Wash separately at 60°C on a gentle cycle in plenty of water. 40°C is also an adequate wash temperature. Avoid softener and bleach. Do not tumble dry. Reshape and iron whilst damp. The colour of natural linen becomes lighter with washing. Shrinkage approx. 9%. Remember to take the textiles out of the sauna always after use, do not dry textiles inside sauna.
