K. A. Almgren Silk Weaving Mill & Museum
What's on
Upcoming exhibition
Long Live the Tradition
of Knitting!
June 12 - August 22 2026
This summer's exhibition celebrates folk knitting traditions, talented knitters, and their love for the craft, the techniques, and the materials. Since 2022, Karin Kahnlund and Evelin Skeppström have been organizing the event "A Swedish Knitting Classic," a challenge for knitters who want to pass on their knowledge of traditional knitted garments and old knitting techniques. Over the course of a year, four advanced knitting projects are completed. A few years later, they also launched "The Mitten Classic" with the same purpose but focusing on just one type of garment: the mitten.
The exhibition features a large number of sweaters and mittens from several years of knitting classics. The garments on display are based on older folk designs but are given a personal touch by their knitters.
We're weaving again at
K. A. Almgren
Silk Weaving Mill
After a few years with a generational gap in the knowledge of weaving with jacquard mechanics, we are now weaving again at K. A. Almgren Silk Weaving Mill in Stockholm. Karin Kauppi is our new weaver!
In the fall of 2025, she wove shawls inspired by a pattern in the museum's collections. She is currently preparing a new jacquard loom and will weave again later this spring. Keep an eye on our website and social media for more information about upcoming weaving!

Exhibitions
The Factory
In our permanent exhibition you'll meet some of the women who worked here. You'll also learn more about the silk scarves, sashes, and dresses they wove and sewed. "The Factory" explores the silk weaving mill's nearly 200-year history, with a global outlook. From its founding in 1833, before the dawn of industrialization in Sweden, through its heyday, decline, expansion, the TEKO crisis, and its revival.
