LANGYARNS – QUALITY since 1867

LANGYARNS looks back on a 150-year history as a textile company. As a 6th-generation family business, their passion lies in their products, their yarns, and the knitted and crocheted items made from them.

In the 1890s, production was electrified, and a turbine was installed to generate electricity. In 1894, a spinning mill was added, adding another production stage. During this time, the first high-quality hand-knitted yarns were produced.

In the 1920s, after the untimely death of Ernst Lang, Erich Lang succeeded his father as managing director. During the difficult period of the Great Depression, he decided to sell hand-knitting yarns under his own LANG brand. Even at that time, quality, further development of machinery, constant innovation, and market-oriented products were the key to success in the demanding market for hand-knitting yarns.

With the increasing internationalization of markets, Ernst H. Lang developed additional export markets such as the USA and Japan starting in the 1960s. The highest quality and technical innovation in hand-knitting yarns is and remains the goal of LANGYARNS.

Today, LANGYARNS is one of the leading brands in the global hand-knitting yarn market. They cooperate with other industrial partners in Europe. At the beginning of the new millennium, Jakob Lang, the sixth generation of the family, took over the management of the company. A passion for yarns and fashion, a commitment to the highest quality and continuous innovation, combined with a long textile tradition, motivate the constant development of new hand-knitting yarns.
