Helmiäinen/beige-brown 140×240

Additional information

Helmiäinen means pearl in Finnish. This beautiful design from Marjatta Metsovaara is shown in a US catalog from 1960. Throw blankets in this material were sold in the finest department stores in the US. The luxury size norm produced now with the signature Metsovaara fringes is a true statement.

The fabric is now produced on slow-speed power looms with a distinctly hand-crafted appeal. This beautiful mohair and wool throw blanket with the Metsovaara fringes at the ends will keep you warm this winter. At newly built state-of-the-art combing and spinning facilities, these natural fibers are transformed into unique variations of yarns. Woven in the original Helmiäinen pattern, the fabric is brushed to create a classic, fluffy form. All this means that a travel rug from Metsovaara not only adorns any room but also provides high comfort and a genuine sense of craftsmanship and heritage.

The new colors parallel the most influential Pantone Home Textile colors introduced for 2025.

With today’s improved production methods, the material is more reliable and resistant to washing.
