I was first introduced to the concept of weaving while I was aiding on a farm, I was only 12 years old at the time. There I was given the task to cut down plastic milk-bottles into thin strips, which I then used to weave a plastic mat!

The raw material I use is supplied from my immediate environment. Wool from local farmers, whom I am familiar with and know can supply premium quality wool. This wool comes from the stock of sheep brought to this island by the first inhabitants.

I examine the lamb-wool by hand, on the creature itself. During summer and autumn, I walk in the wild Icelandic nature, searching for plants to use as dyes. It is a privilege to use this beautiful natural product, to spin and weave from it.

What I appreciate about my profession, is that I can work independently on my ideas and craft. I can use my time researching and reviving the traditional methods of wool-working, keeping this important legacy alive.
