Klässbols Linen Mill
Klässbols Linen Mill is situated 20km south of Arvika.
Ever since the early 20′s has the raw material flax and its refinement directed the Johansson family in Klässbol. Their determination and humble belief in quality, their balance between old handicraft and
new techniques, their beliefs in what they are doing and that it is the right thing, has spun threads far longer than to the border of Sweden. Napkins and tablecloths from the little village in Värmland have for several years been used at the prestigious Nobel feast. Swedish as well as Norwegian embassies worldwide choose products from Klässbols. They are purveyors to HM the King of Sweden, they have been given the
honourable task of hand-weaving the very special royal tablecloth.
