Our story
Linkulla Spinneri: For the love of handmade
The impetus for something new together often starts with someone talking about their dreams out loud. This also happened to Henna and Tove. It became clear the first time they met that they had more in common than Lake Linkulla visible from the windows of their homes.
Henna, who lives on one side of the lake, moved to the country and after ten years of hospital work fell in love with sheep and wool. In a home where you can find old spinning wheels, linen skeins and rag rugs, the love for handicrafts and traditional skills inherited from mother, grandmother and great-grandmother had room to grow and develop. The hobby started to shape a vision of a business that has both quality and transparency at its core.
Tove, who lives on the other side of the lake, has been piloting the handicraft business founded by her great-grandmother called Eira Tukku together with her mother for fifteen years. The beloved hobby of knitting, maintained since childhood, has introduced Tove to different yarns and their feel. Long experience in selling yarns awakened the curiosity about the whole yarn manufacturing process - what would it be like to spin your own yarn from the wool of Finnish sheep and alpacas?
Linkulla Spinneri was born from the desire to make better quality woolen yarn, utilizing the fine fiber of Finnsheep wool, which is wasted in large quantities every year. The love of making things with their hands inspired them to learn the spinning process from start to finish: Henna and Tove know where and from whom the wool comes from, and each skein of yarn is spun by them.
Sheep and alpaca wool comes into its own when it is handled gently and with appreciation for its natural properties.
