Book · 112 pages · Swedish · weaving drafts
A Swedish handweaving manual for home and school use, published in 1925 in the Birgittaskolan series. The first part covers looms and tools, yarns, warp calculation, warping and dressing the loom, and pattern drafting. It then gives weaving instructions with photographs and drafts for towels, bed coverings, cotton fabrics, curtains, tablecloths and napkins, upholstery fabrics, rag rugs, and door hangings. A historical section covers old Swedish textile weaves such as munkabälte, inlay, Flemish weave, and rya and other pile weaves. A final section by Elisabeth M. Glantzberg, 'Moderna textilier', presents plates of modern curtains, cushions, runners, tablecloths and rugs with size, warp, sley and weft specifications.
