Luxury is timeless.
Raita means stripe in Finnish. Marjatta Metsovaara made this modern design in 1955 and is seen in a US product catalog from 1960. The new sized throw 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 original 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 Raita pattern, the fabric is brushed to create a classic, fluffy form. All this means that a throw 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 throw blanket is more reliable and resistant to washing.
