Lotten began knitting more seriously while she was in school studying traditional silversmithing and industrial metal working techniques because she was longing to work with a soft material. The craft of hand weaving rugs is still very popular in Sweden; in the countryside it is not uncommon for people to have a loom in their home. Therefore there is a large market for recycled fabric strips. Lotten came across an amazing supplier for the recycled cloth and was so taken with it she started experimenting with the material. Over time she found it worked best with knitting and has been making her scarves ever since. At most there are two of the same scarves but more commonly they are one of a kind since the scraps are random and limited. Her scarves are comfortable and warm and they look cool too! Be different and leave your plaid scarf at home!
