The New Suomussalmi graphic design used in this product is a part of a centuries-old craft tradition in Suomussalmi community. The idea for the design comes from the wool woven Suomussalmi-raanu (a traditional heavy woven rug, used as bed cover and wall textile), which was originally inspired by different shawl patterns used in villages in Suomussalmi at the 1800-century.
