I live in Luleå, north Sweden. I´m a collector and user of old rugs and textiles. Colours, shiny wool, patina and the weavers ability to create something beautiful, turns me on. When I´m not into wool I am a journalist, rock ´n´ roll guitarist and flyfisher. Skiing with the family is one of my favourits.
