Arvo Pocket Scarf, White - Olive

Size 60 x 180 cm + fringes

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. The natural-coloured yarns are made of brown, black and white sheep’s wool by melangeing. Nature is the most skilled dyer we know!

Preserving and developing Finnish textile tradition is important to us, which is why Lapuan Kankurit 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. The brand also rebuilt the production chain that had disappeared from Finland. Now Lapuan Kankurit control the entire wool production process and engage in unique product development while passing on the 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 brand´s own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. If necessary, the sewing is done in their subsidiary’s own sewing department in Kaunas, Lithuania, or in their own sewing department in Lapua. The product wadding, drying and tuft finishing is done in our finishing plant in Lapua, Finland.
