About this product

Product Information

For the first time in English, a complete book about 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 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 has 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 book is destined to become a classic in the field. It will interest not only weavers but anyone who appreciates textile arts, folk costumes, and Norwegian culture.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Well illustrated and comprehensive work on the cultural history and techniques for Norwegian band weaving.

    Anyone who is interested in Norwegian band weaving should purchase this book. It is highly instructive, containing both historical background on the bands and the tools used to weave them, detailed information about the bands in the collection of Vesterheim Museum, and excellent step-by-step directions and drafts for a multitude of traditional bands from the different regions of Norway. The author has thoroughly researched archives in the United States and Norway and studied the techniques for making beautiful bands from teachers in Norway, thereby providing a very informative, well-illustrated book.

  • A Good Book!

    This is an excellent book on band weaving, or inkle weaving, if you prefer. I recommend it for beginners and experienced weavers. It's very interesting.
