Spring 1985 issue of The Weaver's Journal, with a loose Scandinavian theme alongside rugs and interiors. Features include the third part of a series on textile conservation, Märta Måås-Fjetterström's tapestries, the Finnish ryijy (rya) tradition and Irma Kukkasjärvi, the Norwegian braided fringe firfletting, Swedish Vadstena picture lace, and an immigrant weaving at the American Swedish Institute. Rag rug coverage includes Log Cabin rag rugs from the Two Harbors area of Minnesota, rag rug lore, and a Finnish-American memoir of a homemade loom. Technical articles cover double-faced krokbragd on six and eight shafts, shaft-switching with weighted floating heddles on rising shed looms, designing for an interior, and three-toned blocks with long-eyed heddles, with drafts. Also contains columns on fashion trends, letters, a calendar, publication notices, classifieds and many advertisements.
