Lapuan Kankurit linen and wool textiles

Lapuan Kankurit is linen and wool weaving mill from Finland.
We weave sustainable sauna- and spa textiles, kitchen textiles and interior textiles from 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.
We weave responsibly, respecting the environment. We weave a better future. We develop new innovations and techniques.
Our roots go all the way back to 1917. We carry the responsibility to pass on the craftsmanship of weaving to the future generations,

”We are a rebuilding a production line that had already disappeared from Finland. We are combining old knowhow with new technology.”

Ecological Choice

Linen is an ecological choice. Ground water is saved, since linen requires no irrigation. Instead, it uses rainwater to grow. The cultivation of linen maintains the healthy diversity of the ecosystem.
