PRODUCTS

Where are Ekta Helsinki products made?

All our products are designed and manufactured entirely in Finland. Our aim is to keep everything as local as possible, from the shearing of the sheep, to the packaging of your goods. 

Do your knits itch? 

The Finnish sheep wool has more lanolin than other wool types and is good for your skin. The lanolin makes it softer, more stain resistant and water-repellent. The wool is elastic, breathable and durable, and does not itch or pill easily. Our wool is comfortable to wear all year round and it is easy to care for.

What is Finnish sheep wool?

Finnish sheep wool is a natural and renewable material, it’s ecological and 100% biodegradable and recyclable. Finnish sheep wool is wool that has been sheared from Finnish sheep (sheep living in Finland). Local farmers who hold sheep, will shear the sheep for the sheep's comfort. We will repurpose this wool, by washing and spinning it into industrially usable yarn. 

Where do the sheep come from?

The sheep that are used for our wool come from ethical sheep farms all over Finland where they have been treated with great care. Mulesing is strictly prohibited in Finland, hence all Finnish wool is mulesing-free. 

Will the sheep be harmed during shearing?

The shearing is done for the comfort of the sheep. It is a gentle and quick process and does no harm at all to the sheep.
