Throughout history, all dish and cleaning rags were made from worn out
textiles. A good environmental way of recycling. Evolution changed that,
beginning in the early 1900's, towards textiles made for specific
cleaning uses, this also great for the environment. During the later
part of the 19th century the market saw cheap one-time-use rags all
winding up at a trash site. These rags were made from a cellulose fiber,
actually also a renewable fiber.
From Our Family Tradition to
Yours. The woven linens of Ekelund are some of the finest woven kitchen
and table linens we've found and reflect the taste and style of the
Scandinavian Good Life. Established in 1692, the Ekelund family have
been purveyors to the Royal Court of Sweden for over a century. Nothing
gives us greater pleasure than to offer these beautiful results of this
traditional craft for you to use, cherish or share as you see fit.
Tradition like love is passed on from generation to generation and
founder Marta Ingemarsdotter's legacy lives on in these collections. All
linens are woven at the old family mill with natural materials that
have been cultivated, harvested and selected with respect for the
environment. Each and every woven article--from the oldest classic
patterns to the newest and most colorful--is made in accordance with
family tradition. To be enjoyed in accordance with yours.
