A first-person account by an American student of a summer learning to weave at Sätergläntan, a weaving school and resort near Insjön in Dalarna, Sweden. She describes daily lectures, the weaving studio, and her progression from a two-shaft rug warp through Rose Path pattern weaving, a table square threaded from a draft, double weave, napkins and furniture-covering samplers, to Dukagång (embroidery weaving) on a pillow and a finger-woven tapestry wall hanging. Also notes Swedish practice of linen warps with wool wefts and the instructor's advice on choosing colors from nature.
