Lapuan Kankurit Yllätys wool plaid 130x180 blue cinnamon

The Yllätys blanket by Lapuan Kankurit gets its name (Yllätys = surprise in Finnish) from its double-sided pattern.

The Yllätys blanket brightens up your home with both its vibrant colors and its playful and bold pattern. One side is lightly dotted, and when you turn it over, surprise! The other side is rhythmically striped. This wonderfully soft wool blanket is a delight to wrap yourself in.

Lapuan Kankurit - Traceable Natural Materials - Wool

100% wool and pleasant warmth. The weft yarn is made in the EU from high-quality, certified Wool Integrity NZ fibers, while the warp yarn is spun in the EU from certified South American wool fibers. For the best results, the fibers for their wool yarns are sourced from different parts of the world, as the quality and fineness of the wool varies depending on the sheep breeds and their living conditions. All yarns are made from mulesing-free wool.

Wool is known for its excellent insulating properties, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. The surface structure of wool fibers naturally repels water, making the fabric antibacterial and antimicrobial.

Wool is antistatic, odor-resistant, and stain-resistant, so it doesn't collect dust mites and doesn't need to be washed regularly. Wool is one of the most durable natural materials. Textiles made from these fibers can last for generations, but are also biodegradable—an ecological and sustainable choice.

Care Instructions

Only wash if the fabric is very dirty. Otherwise, air-dry the fabric outdoors. Hand wash at a maximum of 30°C or dry-clean. If you use washing powder, dissolve it in plenty of water. Immerse the blanket in the water and wash immediately. Squeeze gently. Do not scrub, stretch, or wring. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out most of the water. Press the blanket between towels until half-dry and let it dry in a well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry. Iron with a damp cloth, maximum temperature 150°C.

Lapuan Kankurit

Developing the best textiles in the world is their passion. Their own weaving mill and the young, open-minded craftspeople who work there enable them to make their products a little better every day and create the most beautiful designs.

Lapuan Kankurit's strategy is to take responsibility for the entire production process, from yarn to finished product. Therefore, the majority of their collection is made in their own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. If production there isn't possible, they move to their partially owned factory in Lithuania.
