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 weaving mill specialising in high-quality linen and wool textiles for the home, table, bath, and sauna. Inspired by the rugged beauty of northern nature, the brand collaborates with both Finnish and international designers to create timeless, versatile pieces from pure natural materials.

The name Lapuan Kankurit means "Weavers of Lapua," reflecting the company's roots in the textile factory founded by Juho Annala in the town of Lapua in 1917. His grandson, Juha Hjelt, began working in the family’s weaving mill at the age of 15 and later established Lapuan Kankurit with his wife, Liisa, in 1973. Alongside creating high-quality designs, Lapuan Kankurit is dedicated to sustainable production, developing new textile innovations, and passing down the art of weaving to future generations.
