I am Woolpowered

Sometimes we meet people who really make a strong impression on us. Have you ever sat down and heard a life story that you just feel you have to share?

We come in contact with many people who use our clothes in one way or another and we hear many moving, funny and inspiring stories. Stories about life choices, adventures and dreams. Stories that we want more people to take part in.

Welcome to I am Woolpowered, stories about people.

I wanted to regain what was lost

Anders Andrae is the initiator of “The Long Hike” (“Den långa vandringen”, in Swedish). The project, which enables long-distance hikes for people with disabilities, is a product of a lifelong love for the outdoors and a desire to help others. Anders, who uses a wheelchair himself, tells us that he found his purpose in being outdoors.

Life in five square metres

Many people dream about it. The freedom to do exactly what you want and take the day as it comes. But what are we really prepared to give up for such freedom? We met Jørund Eggen who has chosen to live a “Van life”, a lifestyle that more people in Sweden are becoming aware of.
