Product Attributes & Care
- Manufacturing & Origin: Designed, woven, and manufactured at the Ekelund facility in Horred, Sweden, continuing a centuries-old tradition.
- Pattern Construction: The intricate mushroom design is woven directly into the fabric using a jacquard technique, not printed. This ensures a rich texture that won't fade or wear away.
- Material & Thickness: Woven from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, the runner has a substantial, medium-weight feel that lays flat and drapes beautifully.
- Fabric Treatment: Made from pure, untreated organic cotton without any synthetic stain-resistant coatings.
- Reverse Side: The jacquard weaving process creates an attractive inverse of the front pattern on the back.
- Color Accuracy: Photos are color-corrected, but slight variations may occur due to screen settings.
- Coordinating Items: Explore the full Svampskog collection for matching textiles like kitchen towels and placemats.
Washing and Maintenance
- Washing Instructions: Machine wash warm (up to 60°C or 140°F). Do not use bleach.
- Drying: Hang to dry for best results. Alternatively, tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly.
- Shrinkage: Expect normal shrinkage of approximately 3-5% after the first wash, a characteristic of natural cotton.
- Ironing: For a crisp look, iron on a high cotton setting while damp. Or, embrace its natural texture for a more relaxed feel.
