Third generation – yarn as a raw material
An essential part of our company’s present and future is actively operating third generation, specialising in linen, weaving and sowing it to make finished products, as well as finding new ways of using linen.

As our raw material we use linen yarn manufactured in Western Europe (Italy, Germany, and France). In Finland, the cultivation and continuation refinement of linen has been downgrading again since the temporary revival in the 1990s.
