A Legacy of Swedish Weaving
Ekelund’s roots trace back to 1692 in Marks, Sweden, established by Marta (Ingemars daughter). Over the centuries, their craftsmanship has evolved through key milestones:
- Damask-Weaving: The Horred area became famous for damask-weaving, creating complex patterns using only a shaft.
- Jacquard Weaving: Around 1850, Ekelund adopted jacquard weaving, using punched cards to control threads.
- Modern Looms: Today, Ekelund uses advanced computerized jacquard looms to weave intricate, colorful patterns like the Igelkottar design.
