Koivu means birch in Finnish, and the Lapuan Kankurit Koivu Large Tea Towel is brimming with these beautiful trees. Woven by 'Masters of Linen' at the Lapuan Kankurit jacquard weaving mill in Finland, the grainy texture of the cotton-linen blend adds to the natural characteristic of the birch's bark. The tight weave of the black and white threads creates diverse shades of grey throughout. Use this large towel to line bread baskets, cabinet shelves, or even use as placemats; like these towering trees, the possibilities are seemingly endless.
  • ITEM #: LK-06097
  • MATERIAL: 50% Cotton, 50% Linen
  • COUNTRY: Designed in Finland, Made in Finland
  • Care: Machine washable. Follow instructions on tag.

Absolutely beautiful!
December 23, 2021
Even more beautiful than imagined. I purchased this as a gift, I'll be very proud to give this amazing tea towel. Workmanship like this is so wonderful to see. So fine it almost feels like silk. Absolutely lovely. Ben's service, as usual, is above reproach. I counted on him for many, many years and he never lets me down. Superior all around.
Pros
  • Very fast and reasonable shipping. Impeccable products.

This towel has joined my assortment of various FinnStyle brand kitchen towels. What a joy to have lovely linens to use on a daily basis. Although ironing is not necessary after washing I like to give them a light "pass over".

My new Favorite dish towel!
February 18, 2021
I have always loved this design ever since I first saw it in Finland some years ago. It looks good folded in half, too, which is important when it hangs on a towel bar.

Stunning
February 9, 2021
I love this tea towel, representative of everything great about Scandinavian style. It curled up after washing but, in my experience, this problem should alleviate. Lovely, I will enjoy using it.
Pros
  • -love white birches, very charming
Cons
  • -curled up after washing and needed to be ironed

Fabulous hand and/kitchen towels.
December 23, 2020
I machine wash and hang on a rack to dry. There is no need to iron and they are very durable. The towels are a visual and tactile treat to use as well as very functional. Excellent gifts and great as multiples or-a single.

Useless
December 16, 2020
Awful fabric; hard as sheet metal.

Merchant Response:This is a high quality linen/cotton towel. This type of material will have a more rigid texture initially which will soften with each use.

Gorgeous Tea Towel
December 16, 2020
Perhaps it's a little much to call a tea towel 'gorgeous', however, well, it really is!
Stunning design and fabric, but that's to be expected from Lapuan Kankurit.
By Helene

Needs to be ironed!
December 7, 2020
Pattern is lovely but choice of fabric thickness/density is all wrong- I’ve never owned a kitchen towel that required ironing.

Nice design
September 24, 2020
I very much like Lapuan Kankurit towels. The designs are very attractive and the fabric feels good in the hand. This towel is a little stiffer than all the others I have, which makes it a little less desirable.

I have replaced all of my tea towels with Lapuan Kankurit designs.

My daughter loves the birch look, so this is fitting for her, she may even hang in on the wall.

Lapuan Kankurit Koivu tea towel
November 23, 2019
I absolutely love the birch tree design on this tea towel! I was looking for something with birch trees in grey neutral color tones and found a perfect one in this Lapuan Kankurit tea towel. I like the feel of the fabric and the texture as well.

Wonderful Graphic Finnish Design Works Great in my Southern Oregon Kitchen
November 10, 2019
This is a wonderful kitchen dish towel that brings the outdoors in. It's very hard to beat Finland for its simple but powerful modern graphic arts and this dish towel is no exception. You can't beat the look of white birch trees against grey background with black brach accents. But more than that, it is beautifully woven and will stand up to years of wear. I am so glad I ordered it!

I got several kitchen towels on sale. They are all beautiful, high quality items. I immediately washed them; they are slightly stiff but that is expected. Design is absolutely adorable. FinnStyle never disappoints

Exactly what I was looking for.
December 8, 2016
Bought two of these towels for a stocking stuffer for my daughter! They came quickly, ready to be wrapped for the big day!
Pros
  • 100% cotton.
Cons
  • Wish they had a loop to hang them on a hook.
By Margo

Heavier-weight, very nice!
October 21, 2016
I will be buying more of these. They are pricier than the other brands but more heavy-weight and they look very good. Gorgeous print that goes well with my modern white kitchen. The grays match well with stainless steel appliances.

Finland's Best!
August 30, 2015
I recently visited the Lapuan Kankurit shop in Helsinki, where I developed an even greater appreciation for this Finnish textile company and the quality of its products. Thanks, FinnStyle, for making LK products available in the U.S.!
Pros
  • Excellent quality. Great design. Thick and absorbent. Perfect for drying glassware. Made in Finland!

Love Lapuan Kankurit Towels
August 28, 2015
I first bought two Lapuan Kankurit towels when I visited Helsinki. After 8+ years of heavy use, one of the two developed a small hole. I continued to use them and supplemented them with terry cloth towels, but nothing is as good as these Finnish towels! The new towels are a bit stiff (I remember the others being so too), but after the first washing they softened a bit, and I'm sure that will continue with further washings. Great quality and beautiful. Also, FinnStyle delivered them quickly!

Great product for your nature-oriented friends/family
March 14, 2014
I use tea towels to wrap presents for my friends and family. I've been looking at this product on the Lapuan Kankurit website but they don't sell to individuals. They referred me to FinnStyle. I love the quality and the cotton/linen blend.
