VÄXBO LIN

The most well preserved sites from the heydays of flax and linen production are found in Växbo. The small flax sheds and workshops in Trolldalen bear witness to the flax-growing peasantry’s utilisation of hydropower.
VÄXBO LIN was founded on this cultural heritage site in 1989. At first, production was centred on the spinnery, but after a few years they began weaving as well. All their products consist of 100% linen.

They are 13 employees who weave, sew and sell the beautiful linen products. The vision is that Växbo Lin will continue to develop, produce and market linen products while creating desire and value for both customer and worker, and to carry forth this unique handicraft tradition. Three words characterise this activity: Växbo Lin is –Genuine—Personal—Innovative.

The linen comes from France and Belgium because it is not possible to buy flax for weaving in Sweden. All products are labeled with the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation’s “Good Environmental Choice”, both in terms of fiber and preparation.

VÄXBO LIN is available at the following independent stores.
