Description
The fringed ARVO blanket contains local Finnsheep wool, which we collect ourselves from farms in the surrounding area, within approximately a 400 km radius of Lapua. We have invested over three million euros in a continuously operating wool textile finishing facility built in Lapua in order to restore industrial wool expertise that had already been lost in Finland. Now our skilled weavers and finishers craft these wonderful wool textiles in the heart of the Ostrobothnian plains in Finland!
In addition to its versatility, Finnsheep wool is one of the softest types of wool in the Nordic countries. Products containing local Finnsheep wool are an incomparable ethical choice: at the same time, you support Finnish production, traditional craftsmanship, and Mother Nature herself. This throw makes a lovely gift for a family member, friend, or employee!
Traceable natural materials
100 % wool textile with the weft yarn of our own. The yarn is spun from the wool fibres of Finnsheep and Finnsheep crossbreeds, which we have obtained from the local farms in Finland, as well as from certified Wool Integrity NZ fibre. All yarns are spun and dyed in the EU area and are mulesing-free wool.
Maintaining and developing the Finnish textile tradition has always been our passion, and we are particularly proud of this material.
Own transparent production
Preserving and developing Finnish textile tradition is important to us, which is why we started collecting local wool from Finnish sheep farms for industrial use. A key motivation for the project was that a large portion of the wool had previously gone to waste. We also rebuilt the production chain that had disappeared from Finland. Now we control the entire wool production process and engage in unique product development while passing on our expertise to future generations.
The product design, material purchases, loom programming and warping as well as the pre-work stages, weaving and fabric inspection are done in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. If necessary, the sewing is done in our subsidiary’s own sewing department in Kaunas, Lithuania, or in our own sewing department in Lapua. Finishing – including washing, milling, drying and raising – is done in our finishing plant in Lapua, Finland.
