Lapuan Kankurit Venla Tablecloth

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. 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 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.
