Moving activities

The Ruukin Kehräämö spinning machinery 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 Ruukin Kehräämö continue as before; our yarn spinning will now be carried out by the lovely young women, Tove and Henna. They have been learning and working together at the Mathildedali spinning mill all summer. In the group photo, Leena and Sini, the future spinning godmothers (or perhaps -grandmothers 😂), along with our young successors in spinning, Tove and Henna ❤.
