We manufacture high quality products in Finland knitwear of organic linen and merino wool 

Responsible fashion

We manufacture all the products presented on these pages in our own knitwear in Lieto. We use natural fibers as materials. The yarns are 100% merino wool and 100% organic linen.

Finnish linen knitwear

We make knitwear from linen. The flax we use is organic flax that comes to us from Italy. We manufacture linen jackets, linen blouses, linen tunics and linen dresses.

Purchasing a linen knit shows responsibility

Flax is one of the oldest crops. It has been used as a material for thousands of years. The properties of linen have pleased people through the ages. Linen fibers are largely cellulose like cotton. The chemical properties are about the same as cotton. However, the cultivation of these materials is much different. While cotton needs large amounts of irrigation water, flax thrives in dry growing areas and does not require artificial irrigation. Flax cultivation protects groundwater. The use of plant protection products is low. The yarn manufacturer we use does not use any chemical pesticides at all.

Linen is now in vogue

Although flax resembles cotton in chemical composition, flax has a more porous structure than cotton and absorbs moisture better than flax.  Flax is dirt-repellent, wear-resistant, breathable, highly moisture-absorbing and heat-conducting. A knit made of linen feels warm in cool and cool in warm weather. Flax fiber is strong, but its folding time is poor and it is rigid as a fiber. The woven linen fabric is easily wrinkled. Due to its stiffness and poor bending resistance, knitting linen is technically quite demanding. However, the knit forms an elastic weave, which means that the linen knit does not wrinkle as easily as the fabric. Get yours from our store and experience the luxurious feel of linen.

While living on the island, we designed and made patterned knitwear. We returned to Helsinki in 1996. We had a study shop at Eerikinkatu 15 for three years.

In the autumn of 2020, we started cooperating with Tuoriniemi Dreams Oy. Tuoriniemi productizes our pattern design on natural materials, merino wool and organic linen.

From our customers

Kaisa M.

The knit is really beautiful, with a high-quality feel, wonderfully soft and carefully finished. I can warmly recommend! Ordering was easy and delivery really fast. An additional note is that the knit is quite loose dimensioning. For myself (ML-sized, 175cm long) the s-size was appropriate for the sleeves and shoulders, but otherwise quite over-sized.
