Welcome to a site dedicated to the love of spinning.
About
Bio
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. I teach intermediate spinning in Sweden and online.
Posts, videos and online courses
In the blog I write mostly about spinning, from both a technical and more of a philosophical perspective. Spinning does so much for me and I like to investigate the spinning process in my blog posts.
My youtube videos are both instructional and documentary style videos. I hope you find something you like.
In my online school I offer courses to intermediate and advanced spinners.
