HENRICHSENS ULDSPINDERI BECOMES PART OF ISAGER APS

Henrichsens Uldspinderi in Skive was established in 1885 and is now run by the sixth generation. It is one of only two remaining commercial spinning mills in Denmark, and the only one that also dyes its own yarn.

The shared history of the two companies dates back to the 1960s, when Marianne Isager’s predecessor, Åse Lund Jensen, initiated the collaboration with the mill. Since then, the partnership has only grown stronger, and the owner of Henrichsens Uldspinderi has now chosen to secure the mill’s future by making it part of Isager ApS. The acquisition will take effect on 1 August.

We expect to have a new factory building ready by the end of 2027, after which the machinery will be relocated to Tversted. At the same time, we will move the mini mill from Uldens Hus (House of Wool) into the main spinning mill.

Production capacity will be significantly expanded, and we hope this will give us more scope to explore colours and yarn qualities. We will also continue our work to make greater use of locally sourced wool.

The spinning mill in Tversted will be designed to allow visits while the machines are running and will become a central part of the Isager knitting destination. Visitors will be able to see sheep and alpacas in the surrounding fields. Inside the mill, they can experience the process of turning fibres into yarn and gain insight into the dyeing facility, where the yarn is coloured.

At Tversted School, courses on yarn and knitting-related topics are offered. The café, Skolekøkkenet, serves lunch, coffee and cake, and accommodation is available in the school’s guest houses. In the Isager shop, visitors can enjoy the beautiful natural fibre yarns and their associated designs.

The factory is expected to be fully operational for both production and guided tours from mid-2028.

We will keep you continuously informed about the progress of the project.
