Anyone who likes to go to the sauna frequently will appreciate the size of this sauna towel: It is narrower than a bath towel and slightly longer, so you can sit on it comfortably and still have enough "material" left over to place the towel on your back when leaning against it and under your feet. Thanks to the blend of quick-drying, absorbent linen (60%) and soft, skin-friendly cotton, the fabric is hard-wearing and can withstand many sauna and washing cycles. As is usual with Lapuan Kankurit, the pattern is jacquard woven and is reversed on the reverse. You can tell from the selvedges on the long sides that the sauna bench cover is woven on a shuttle loom. These edges are created when the loom is set up specifically for the respective width of the woven fabric and the weft thread is not simply cut off, but continued endlessly. This means that only the upper and lower cut edges need to be hemmed. This elaborate weaving method also has the advantage that you can also use the cloth as a table runner - if you don't go to the sauna at all ...

In Finland, the land of sauna-goers, the functionality of bath products is paramount, so the textiles have to meet high standards in terms of absorbency, durability and feel. In Lapua in western Finland, the linen weaving mill Lapuan Kankurit, a fourth-generation family business, turns its experience into woven products that meet these requirements. The weaving mill uses only the best linen yarns from long-fiber flax of European provenance, including for this sauna bench cover. The cotton is certified and comes from controlled organic cultivation.
