I have been knitting since the mid -80’s and spinning since 2011. I learned that tons of Swedish wool is wasted or burnt, while at the same time we are importing thousands of tons of merino wool from New Zealand. So my woolly heart felt a responsibility to take care of some of the wool. I took a spinning class with a friend and I have been hooked ever since. I spin on both spindles and spinning wheel. I also make youtube videos on spinning and wool and teach intermediate spinning classes.
Posts and videos
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.
