Every year, cotton-blend yarns are left unused in the textile industry — the byproduct of shifting markets, production changes, and inevitable miscalculations. USA-based In2Green doesn't see it as surplus as waste, they see it as possibility. This belief comes to life in their newest designer Deadstock Blanket Collection.


Reclaimed cotton blends are transformed into beautifully designed, lasting pieces such as striking Raita throw by Finnish-born, Vancouver-based designer Petra Kaksonen, whose clean, modern aesthetic is grounded in nature, tradition, and the quiet harmony of Scandinavian design.
The Raita throw’s rhythmic flow brings movement, depth, and warmth to any room, turning limited and leftover materials into a vibrant statement piece. Petra’s background in both design and textiles adds a thoughtful balance of form and function, celebrating timeless style while honoring sustainable craft.
The impact of this approach is as intentional as the design:
75% recycled cotton / 25% polyester, spun from pre-consumer tee-shirt clippings and up to 22 recycled water bottles
2,100 gallons of water saved per blanket through a resource-conscious process
Reduced carbon footprint by designing with reclaimed yarns instead of new fiber


By embracing the constraints of deadstock materials, we not only reduce environmental impact — we also unlock creativity. The Raita throw exemplifies how sustainability and beauty can move in rhythm, proving that what’s left can truly become what’s next. In2Green gives cotton a second life, creating pieces that wrap you in warmth while caring for the world we share.
