Lapuan Kankurit linen and wool textiles

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.

GIFT IDEAS FOR GRADUATES

Young individuals are very aware consumers and they strive to make as responsible and ecological choices as possible and to avoid unnecessary material. Therefore, versatile home textiles are excellent gifts for graduates.

Our versatile linen textiles make an excellent gift for the young ones, who are soon moving into their first homes. Space is usually limited in the first homes, so it's beneficial for home textiles to be multifunctional and take up as little space as possible.

Pictured is the versatile OSMANKÄÄMI cloth. It can be used as a tablecloth, a blanket, or even a curtain.

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 with natural dyes or even with "left over coffee".

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.
