Harjumaa Mitten Pattern Sauna Towel

Harjumaa Mitten Pattern Sauna Towel – a large terry sauna towel with an Estonian folk pattern

The Harjumaa Mitten Pattern Sauna Towel is a generous 81 × 160 cm terry towel with a beige and white pattern inspired by the mitten designs of Harju County in northern Estonia. Woven from a cotton and linen blend, it is designed and made on the island of Hiiumaa by the Estonian brand LOKO.

A reversible mitten pattern

Estonian mitten patterns are traditional geometric designs that vary from region to region. This towel features diamonds with small crosses at their centre, stepped triangles and vertical bands, arranged in a calm, orderly repeat. The pattern is woven into the terry rather than printed, so it is part of the fabric itself. It is also reversible: on the back, the beige and white trade places. The soft, natural tones suit a light bathroom or a sauna finished in natural materials.

Cotton and linen

The towel is made from 83% cotton and 17% linen. Cotton terry is a looped fabric that absorbs moisture and feels soft against the skin, while linen fibre is known for its absorbency and quick drying. Both ends are finished with a flat woven border, and a hanging loop makes it easy to hang on a hook or peg.

A size made for wrapping up

At 81 × 160 cm, this is a large sauna towel that is wide enough to wrap around the body. Wear it between rounds in the sauna, dry off in one go after a bath, or take it to the beach or the gym.
