The KOIVU (“birch”) pattern is a classic designed by Marja Rautiainen. Birch trees, the most common deciduous trees in Finland, are a significant part of our country’s nature and culture. Birch holds a particularly special place in Finnish bathing and sauna traditions: it is the preferred wood for heating saunas, and traditional sauna whisks are most often made from silver birch. Woven from nature’s own materials, our bath and sauna textiles celebrate the role of Finland’s national tree in everyday life.

We weave our sauna textiles in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland, using fully traceable raw materials: European long-staple linen and bio-organic cotton. Our unique finishing facility, located next to the weaving mill in Lapua, allows us to give these textiles a high-quality finish. This means that, with proper care, the textile will retain its shape in home washing and maintain its form wash after wash.

The sauna cover (46×200 cm) can also be used as a beautiful table runner.

Care instructions
Wash the new textile before use. Wash separately at 60°C on a gentle cycle in plenty of water. 40°C is also an adequate wash temperature. Avoid softener and bleach. Do not tumble dry. Reshape and iron whilst damp. The colour of natural linen becomes lighter with washing. Shrinkage approx. 5%. Remember to take the textiles out of the sauna always after use, do not dry textiles inside sauna.
