Helsinki’s Villasukkatehdas is a mobile phone and computer-free zone. Of course, we listen to the radio every day.

Ada sews individual socks. We use reinforced thread for sewing, and the seams are carefully finished.

Svetlana, the woolen sock master, shapes the seamed and washed socks. During the shaping stage, any twists are removed and the socks are molded into their final shape.
