I have been knitting since the mid -80’s and spinning since 2011. I specialize in the process from raw wool to a finished textile. I also have a deep interest in different kinds of spindles. I run a spinning blog and post spinning videos on my YouTube channel. Find out more about my video making process in an article in Spin-off Magazine. I teach intermediate spinning in Sweden.

My youtube videos are both instructional and documentary style videos. I hope you find something you like.
