Willow paper yarn carpet was designed by the Swedish design studio Claesson Koivisto Rune, the carpet saw the light of day originally at Helsinki Design Week 2002. Year 2022 the carpet has gone through product development process in which its final touch was found from natural dye. The irregular striping is dyed using willow bark. Made of paper yarn, the carpet combines gentle tones of willow brown colour and the neutral base color. The collection includes also black-natural colour combination that is characteristic of Woodnotes. In the Willow carpet, a 240 cm pattern report that starts from the beginning when the carpet exceeds 240 cm in length. What is special and important to us is that the willow natural dye is produced locally: The willow is grown and collected, made into a dye and it has given its colour to the paper yarn in Finland. Using willow as natural dye is an old and well-known technique, but the ecological dyeing is continuously developing to meet the needs and standards of the modern world, so that hopefully one day natural dyes could replace synthetic ones. For Woodnotes the use of willow dye is especially inherent, since the material of the carpet itself is spun from wood. The rugs are woven from plant fibers and do not contain any animal-derived finishing materials, so the rugs are 100% vegan.
WOODNOTES HAS SPECIALISED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND REFINEMENT OF SPUN PAPER YARN.
Woodnotes has specialised in the development and working of spun paper yarn, which is used as material in the production of almost all Woodnotes products. Paper yarn is an authentic, natural material composed of an ecologically produced renewable resource: wood.
The strength and durability of the yarn results from wood fibres. Paper is both hygienic and safe. Due to the density of the fibres, paper yarn collects neither dust nor dirt – an important property, especially for those who suffer from allergies. The paper yarn is spun from kraft paper, which is also used as a raw material in food packaging. Due to the tight weave and choice of material, the carpets do not ignite easily, only the surface becomes charred.
Woodnotes’ paper yarn products are biodegradable, and our white paper is produced without chlorine gas.
