Barnängens manufaktur

Alongside its main rival Pauliska manufakturerna (The 'Paulinian Manufactures', active in 1673-1776), it was the biggest factory in Stockholm during the 18th-century, and during the 1780s, it employed more people than any other business in the city, the majority of whom were women.

The spinning factory used Cannabis sativa and Flax to make yarn and weave textile fabrics, and one of its most common products were canvas for sails.
