Lapuan Kankurit linen and wool textiles

FROM THE WEAVERS OF GOOD LIFE

In the beginning, there is 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.

THE CLASSIC OF THE MONTH: UNI POCKET SHAWLS -20%

Prepare for the upcoming winter and Christmas! In November, we offer UNI pocket scarves -20%. The offer is valid for our valued customers in the Lapua Outlet, Helsinki Store and online during November.

Nothing gives you the warmth that you seek more so than a pure wool pocket shawl, draped around your shoulders. The pocket scarf is great for that chilly office and works incredible outside and you can even slip your hands into the warm woollen pockets.

You can effortlessly and affordably acquire Christmas gifts from our online store, as we offer free shipping to a collection point for online orders (over 100 €) in November 2023.

DISCONNECT TO CONNECT

We want to take a moment to enjoy the anticipation of Christmas and the arrival of winter with our loved ones, and wish to encourage everyone else to do the same.⁠

Instead of social media, we will head into nature, visit friends and relatives, savor the scent of mulled wine, and immerse ourselves in the Christmas atmosphere at markets and fairs.⁠

We will be taking a social media break for the rest of the month.

The wool of Finnish sheep will be utilised for industrial purposes

Lapuan Kankurit is investing in a new spinning and finishing mill. We hope to lead the way in the responsible utilisation of Finnish wool.

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

NATURAL MATERIALS

Lapuan Kankurit sources the Finnsheep wool fibre, utilized in their wool yarns, locally. The yarn made from this fibre is spun to be either natural brown or beige, and some are dyed further.

OWN PRODUCTION

The Weaving Mill Is Our Heart. Developing the best textiles in the world is our passion. The world is changing, and Lapuan Kankurit has the courage to develop entirely new products and invest in our own production.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

We manufacture products that stand the test of time. We are constantly developing new techniques and looking for new innovations. We are willing to put effort into making sure weaving skills are preserved to future generations.

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.
