After four years in the USA, Lina Rickardsson returned to her hometown of Falun in central Sweden. There, she came upon an old schoolhouse, home to a weavers’ association. With her life-long interest in weaving, it came as no surprise that Lina ended up behind a loom. I felt comfortable there, she explains. This was how it all began, when Lina was twenty-four.

Shortly after, she moved to Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. With her products – linen rugs and paper placemats – in the crook of her arm, she visited possible retailers.

The brand name Pappelina was born – the name a wordplay of “paper”, “linen” and “Linaˮ.

Quickly, however, Lina realized that she would be unable to do all the weaving herself and began seeking out a weaving mill. At this time in Sweden, most such mills were struggling, many having already closed down. Finally, she discovered a small family-owned mill in Dalarna, in the heartland of Sweden, that had been weaving in linen since the fifties. She was welcome to set up a traditional loom alongside its three employees.
