HOW WE MAKE OUR THROWS
It all starts with the fine wool sheep, on our own farm and on other small farms around Sweden. The sheep are sheared and the wool is washed, carded and spun into yarn at a local spinning mill. In the studio at Larsmass, the yarn is then dyed with environmentally friendly pigments. The yarn is mounted on the loom and the weaving by hand begins. When the raw fabric is ready, it is steamed and brushed by hand, so that the unique softness and luster of the fine wool is highlighted. The last thing we do is hem the edges. Our blankets are made to survive both trends and frequent use. At Larsmass, we keep Swedish weaving traditions alive. We make timeless blankets from Swedish raw materials for those who share our view that quality takes time.
WE WHO DO IT
Mix equal parts art science and craftsmanship. Season with a burning interest in wool, color, form and textile traditions. Then you have the foundation for what characterizes the operations of the farm weaving mill at Larsmass. We are united by the desire to refine and develop the completely unique raw material that is Swedish wool.
The weaving mill is located on the Larsmass farm in the village of Ytternuttö outside Östhammar in Roslagen and is run by Anna Eriksson. The farm has been inherited within the same family since the 17th century until Anna and Lars Eriksson bought it in 2016. The farm is called Larsmass after the farmer Lars Mattson who lived there from 1867-1934.
SO SOFT, SO SOFT...
Our only raw material is wool from Swedish fine wool sheep. The wool is fine-fibred, shiny and slightly curly. It can be naturally white, brown or black and is so soft that even sensitive people can have it next to their skin. The Swedish Fine Wool Sheep breed is the native breed in Sweden that has the softest wool with fibres that have an elasticity that means it does not become dull.
We have a long tradition in Sweden with a focus on wool quality and care for the animals, and the yarn in the blankets from Larsmass comes from healthy sheep in small-scale herds. Healthy sheep naturally have high quality wool.
