Shakki throw, beige - black - white

The Shakki blanket by Lapuan Kankurit is decorated with a graphic square pattern, designed by Ida Korrström. The pattern resembles the layout of a chess board – “shakki” means chess in Finnish. The charming blanket is made from a blend of warm merino wool and cotton, which feels wonderfully soft and luxurious against the skin. The stylish blanket is lovely to pull on while relaxing on the sofa or you can wrap yourself in its embrace on a chill summer evening on the terrace.

The materials for the Shakki blanket are from Europe, mainly from Finland. The blanket is sewn in a sewing factory in Lithuania or in Finland at the own weaving mill of Lapuan Kankurit.

Lapuan Kankurit is a Finnish family business that has its roots in the textile factory founded by Juha Hjelt’s grandfather Juho Annala in 1917. Having worked in the family’s weaving mill in Lapua since the age of 15, Hjelt started his own mill in 1973 with his wife Liisa and named it Lapuan Kankurit (Finnish for Weavers of Lapua). Today, the company manufactures versatile interior, kitchen and bath textiles from pure natural materials, adorned with patterns designed by renowned Finnish and international artists. Lapuan Kankurit values not only good design but also sustainable development and the traceability of materials.
