Notes: 

The story of Borg yarns
starts back in 1734. Persson Borg specialized in dying
various wool and linen yarns spun by the talented farm women of the
area. By the year 1867 the spinning process
became industrialized and mechanized looms were added as well. By the
year 1939 there were 44 looms in use, including a few jacquard looms
that were
specialized for blanket making. The loom count increased to 70 during
the '40s and '50s at the height of their textile production.
Starting in 1978 the Glimåkra loom factory owned the Borgs yarn company
for a short while. Borgs bought the Klippan yarn company
in the year 2000 and is currently one of largest yarn companies in
Sweden. This long history of providing high-quality weaving yarns in an
expansive
and beautiful color palette proves what centuries of skill and
knowledge can bring to us. (from the Vävstuga website)
