Helmiäinen/pastel 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 in new colors, 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 color combination reflects Pantone's 2025 New Age Patels trend, characterized by light-filled, tranquil hues and creamy neutrals designed for modern interior harmony in throws and blankets.

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