"The idea that had been searching for its place for years found the perfect match in rugs. When completed, the rug is incredibly meaningful and invaluable to me."
Story
The name of the iltamaa comes from the farm owned by Jenni’s grandmother, who is also the founder of the iltamaa. The farm got its name because the evening sun shines beautifully on the slope of the farmland.
Jenni spent a lot of her childhood at her grandmother’s, where her sheep also lived. Her enthusiasm for handcrafts and sheep comes from her grandmother.
Finnish Wool
Iltamaa uses Finnish wool in their rugs. All the wool comes undyed from the Herrakunta sheep. From the sheep, they obtain six different colors directly, but these colors can also be mixed together.
Unique rugs
With our software, we can transform any image into a rug pattern. The program calculates the required amount of wool and generates a color chart as instructions, allowing you to create the rug you so desire. We will send you the wool, instructions, and other necessary tools directly.
