by Heather Torgenrud (Author)
The modern classic on Norwegian pick-up bandweaving--from its fascinating history to beautiful bands you can make yourself, with more than 100 pattern charts from bands in museum collections.
- Part 1 tells the story, complete with vintage photos, of how these bands were used in the rural communities of 18th and 19th century Norway, as stocking bands, swaddling bands, sending bands, and more.
- Part 2 looks closely at twenty bands brought to America by Norwegian immigrants, and what they tell us about traditional patterns, colors, and materials.
- Part 3 offers clear and concise instructions for weaving pick-up on simple, traditional band heddles, and these instructions can also be adapted to other kinds of looms.
Meticulously researched, easy-to-read, and profusely illustrated, this is the perfect hands-on reference for all weavers, and anyone who appreciates textile arts, folk costumes, and Norwegian culture.
