Raanu weavings use a cotton warp and a wool weft. The wool weft yarns are generally quite fine and many colours are used to create the complex designs of this weft-faced rep weave.

Sometimes tapestry style wall hangings can also be called ‘Raanu’ in Finnish. This example was woven using a twill tapestry technique. The ground weave is tabby and the tapestry design is woven in twill weave using boucle yarns to give it a textured surface.
