Booklet 6 of the series on old peasant handicraft from Malmöhus County in southern Sweden (Skåne), devoted to white work (hvitvaruslöjd): drawn-thread and cutwork embroidery (udskårssöm, stoppsöm, hålsöm), bobbin and knotted-net lace, and related whitework. A short introduction ties these techniques to the earlier red-sheet (rödlakan) and flamskt weaving covered in earlier booklets and describes regional distribution by härad (district). Most of the booklet is photographic plates of shirts, wedding cloths (förningsdukar), headcloths (klutar), pillowcases, lace bands and aprons, each with a caption giving the district, the owner, the provenance, and a description of the technique and patterns.
