Henrichsen’s Uldspinneri
Due to their size large commodity traders have little time for smaller operators. However, Bloch & Behrens takes great pride in providing smaller companies with products and service.
One such is a business now run by the fifth generation of the Henrichsen family. Henrichsen was founded in 1885, and has bought wool from Bloch & Behrens since its earliest days. Specialising in hand knitting yarns, the company is Denmark’s last remaining commercial spinning mill, as well as one of PGG Wrightson’s longest standing Wool Integrity brand partners.
Palle Petersen recently visited Henrichsen, catching up with owner Lars Henrichsen and older brother Erik, who handed over the company to Lars a few years ago, though still lends a helping hand.
