Facsimile reprint (Gidlunds, 1984) of Maria Christina Ekenmark's Swedish weaving pattern book, second edition, originally published in Linköping in 1827. It gives instructions and treadling orders for damask ("Dräll") and for figured and double fabrics, such as dress goods, waistcoat fabrics, shawls, borders and sleeping mats, with numbered patterns on plates (Planchen). It also gives practical advice on yarn starching, paste, warp and reed calculations, and the setup of looms with 20 to 30 shafts. The second half consists mainly of plates with damask drafts and pattern motifs. A preface by Jan von Gerber describes the Ekenmark family of weaving teachers.
