Ten years ago I started pin loom weaving by chance. I have always loved handmade crafts, in fact I studied industrial design. But never intended that first triangle woven piece to start a business.

The point of break I think was making several woven squares and realizing all the shapes I could achieve by joining those squares. It was so fast, easy and amazing at the same time. I designed lots of different woven clothing, more than 50 I guess and that is how I opened this shop and started selling through the name of Ullvuna (which means wool-wool).

I started making custom orders, which was very fulfilling. I liked using Photoshop to show different color options to my customers, making handmade stuff complemented with my design softwares skill was something I really liked.

I was doing so, while being employed as a designer, when I received an invitation to make a book, "100 pin loom squares", which was not only an amazing experience, but the opportunity to begin a publishing career in crafting techniques.

That book has been translated to 7 languages so far and I have been self publishing 2 more books since then.

When that publishing world opened up in front of me, I changed my complete model business and started making tools and patterns for makers. I turned my finished items into patterns and I designed my own pin loom board, the Kayu, which is produced in the US and sent worldwide. It is my most popular weaving tool until now.

Since then I have added more and more creative products, the aims of Ullvuna is to inspire and promote everyone´s creativity through pin loom weaving. For fun or even better, to make a living through it.

You are welcome :)
