Saana ja Olli Kaukana Kotoa Finnish Hemp Tea Towel NWT

FINNISH FOLK ART WITH A JOB TO DO.  Bold, wonderfully peculiar and alive with things to discover, this Saana ja Olli Kaukana kotoa—or “Far Away”—tea towel is described by its Finnish designers as a patchwork map of our memories.  Its graphic black-on-natural pattern gathers birds, flowers, fruit, a heart, volcano and human forms into one striking modern-folk composition. Beautiful hanging from the oven, spread beneath serving pieces, used as an oversized utility towel or placed directly on the table as an artful mat.  This is genuine, hardworking European hemp—not a plush cotton towel. Because it is new and unwashed, the fabric retains its naturally crisp, rustic and somewhat scratchy hand. Hemp typically relaxes and softens through washing and use while remaining wonderfully durable.  • New with original tags; never washed • Kaukana kotoa / “Far Away” design • Approximately 17.7 × 27.6 • 100% European hemp • Beige natural ground with black print • Transparently manufactured in Finland • Manufacturer notes possible 5–10% shrinkage with the first wash • May be ironed at high heat with steam  A tea towel, utility cloth, table mat—and possibly the coolest piece of hardworking hemp ever invited into the wall or kitchen--or workshop, or laundry or garage...
