Lapuan Kankurit | VENLA napkin (Grey White)

The structure of the VENLA pattern was designed to evoke an artisanal feel. The aim was to create a down-to-earth, yet not old-fashioned, pattern. 

VENLA was created with using heathered yarn colours. Heathering refers to the technique of combining two differently coloured yarns, with a new colour being formed before the viewer’s eyes. We twist this special two-tone yarn in our own mill in Lapua. The product is adorned with a decorative stripe woven from a thicker, plied yarn.

The structure of the VENLA pattern was designed to evoke an artisanal feel. Its creation was inspired by traditions, craftspeople, and history, as well as the coarse shirts worn by the brothers in Aleksis Kivi’s book Seitsemän veljestä (Seven Brothers), and the lovely Venla, daughter of the old woman from Männistö. The aim was to create a down-to-earth, yet not old-fashioned, pattern.

100% washed linen is an excellent material for table textiles. It is beautiful, relaxed, and easy to care for. You can safely throw it in the washing machine whenever needed. Washed linen doesn’t necessarily need ironing; small wrinkles are allowed, even welcomed!
