Lapuan Kankurit USVA tablecloth and towel linen-yellow

Weaving for nature, weaving for tradition. Weaving for you.

In the beginning, there was yarn. From this yarn we weave a good life, responsibly, respecting the environment. Our roots go all the way back to 1917.

We weave natural raw materials, linen and wool. We weave Nordic design, inspired by our pure nature. To balance out the chilling climate of the north, we weave heaps of warmth and softness into our textiles.

And above all else, we weave for you, dear friend. For you, we weave wonderful warmth, sweet softness, tender well-being, and a beautiful, pleasant life.

Lapuan Kankurit shop-in-shop Tampere

 

Lapuan Kankurit Opens a Shop-In-Shop in Tampere’s Verkaranta!

 

The roots of the picturesque Crafts Centre Verkaranta reach deep into the depths of the Finnish textile industry: the space once hosted the dye house of Tampere’s baize factory, which opened in 1858.

 

Tampere and its craftspeople have long been a part of Lapuan Kankurit’s woven journey, and now the shared voyage continues: we are opening a shop-in-shop in the newly renovated space of Taito Shop Tampere!

 

All in all, Tampere is a dear old friend to us, and so are the people of Taito Shop Tampere and Taito Pirkanmaa. We are overjoyed to get to continue our long-lasting collaboration surrounded by such rich textile history.

 

Our Tampere shop-in-shop opens its doors on 12.3.2024 at Vuolteentori 2, 33100 Tampere. Open: Mon-Fri 10-18, Sat 10-16. Welcome!

WOVEN JOURNEY 1973 - 2023

It’s the 50th birthday of Lapuan Kankurit. 50 years filled with exultant joys, heart-breaking hardships, remarkable friendships, bold breakthroughs, beautiful designs – 50 years filled with more memories than a mind could possibly hold.

Our family’s journey in the world of textiles began all the way back in 1917 with Juho Annala, who founded a felt boot factory in Lapua and subsequently laid the groundwork for the founding of Lapuan Kankurit in 1973. The past is the cornerstone on which we ground our work and our mission.

Our woven journey will continue.
