Karpalo/pastel 130×200

Additional information

Karpalo means cranberry in Finnish. Marjatta Metsovaara's design was in the catalogs of Metsovaara during the 1960s and, like several of her blanket designs, now and then, presented at quality auctions held at Bukowskis. Travel rugs in this material were sold in the finest department stores in the US.

Redesigned at our artwork studio in new colors, the fabric is now produced on slow-speed power looms with a distinctly hand-crafted appeal. This beautiful mohair and wool travel rug with 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 Karpalo 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. With today’s improved production methods, the travel rug is more reliable and resistant to washing.
