Moving chores

The spinning machinery of Ruukki Spinning Mill has moved to a new address, and the spinning work is now continued by the newly established Linkulla Spinneri Oy in Inkoo. The operations of Ruukki Spinning Mill remain unchanged; our yarn spinning is now carried out by the wonderful young women, Tove and Henna. They have spent the entire summer learning and working together at the Mathildedal spinning mill. In the group photo are Leena and Sini, the future spinning godmothers (or maybe grandmothers 😂), along with our young spinning work successors Tove and Henna ❤.
