Lapuan Kankurit Kokki Hand Towel

True to its name, the KOKKI (Finnish for “chef”) towel is the king of the kitchen. The goal of our head designer Elina Helenius was to update the traditional checkered kitchen pattern to modern day with our Jacquard technique.

Ordinarily, checkered textiles have a striped warp as their base, which forms the vertical stripes of the fabric. Thanks to our jacquard technique, the KOKKI pattern is built different: it features a double layered structure woven into solid colour warp. This double layered structure allows us to play around with the colours of the weft yarn, resulting in a checkered fabric patterned on both sides. Due to this, the towel can be used either way, depending only on your own preference.

Washed linen doesn’t necessarily need any ironing, as small wrinkles are allowed, even welcomed! Linen is a natural material that feels pleasant on the skin; it’s very absorbent and dries quickly. This is what makes linen such an excellent material for towels. 100% washed linen has been wash treated during our production process, which is how we get the outstanding absorption capacity.

Made using natural materials.

These towels were made using Masters of Linen–certified 100 % linen yarn for both the warp and weft, spun from fully traceable long staple flax. We love flax as a material, for it is a durable, comfortable and environmentally friendly fibre.

The flax grows with the power of rainwater in the temperate climate of central Europe, needing no irrigation. The yarns have been spun and dyed in the EU area according to the REACH regulations.

Did you know that linen is an ecological choice also because the dirt comes off it even when washed at 40 degrees Celsius?
