The Saukko kitchen towel by Lapuan Kankurit is decorated with a playful otter, a lovely artwork by Finnish artist Teemu Järvi. This is also where the name of the towel comes from: "saukko" is Finnish for "otter". The tea towel is woven at the Lapuan Kankurit weaving mill in Finland using European linen and organic cotton. The material makes the towel absorbent and quick-drying so the multi-purpose kitchen towel also works well as a hand towel – get a bunch of sympathetic otters to your home, a few for the kitchen and another few to cheer up the bathroom!
