Karin’s Rölakan is part of our collection inspired by the visionary textile artist Karin Larsson and her world at Lilla Hyttnäs together with her artist husband Carl Larsson and their children. This pattern was inspired by a small rölakan flatweave that Karin had made, a beautiful craft rooted in Swedish textile tradition. Cathy wanted to recreate the tactile feel of a rölakan weave and managed to do so by developing a color scheme that creates depth and from a distance gives the impression of a woven textile rather than a printed textile.

Use: Our hand-printed textiles are best suitable for domestic use and light upholstery. Please note that direct exposure to sunlight will bleach the fabric over time.

Note: Hand printing means that print joints can sometimes be seen on the finished fabric. We call these the maker's mark and it is a natural characteristic for the handicraft. On our Rölakan fabric this mark can sometimes be more visible in the shape of a line running across the fabric. Please note the line occurs every 100 cm and sometimes the quantity needs to be planned around this. We are happy to help you with this, please contact us if unsure. Slight variations in color and texture are to be expected. We do not guarantee against color, wear, or dye lot variation. Always order a CFA if unsure.
