An instructional article by Elmer Wallace Hickman on Norwegian Åklae, a Scandinavian tapestry-like art weaving technique worked with many small hand-wound bobbins on a plain-weave (two-shed) warp. It covers loom, warp and weft choices, bobbin winding and tying, the Pattern and Interlocking sheds, how to advance or retreat design units, and tips for beginners. It gives step-by-step directions for weaving Pattern No. 1, plus charted patterns (including a Viking figure) with Bernat Peasant and French Tapestry wool color keys, and illustrations of finished pieces.
