A Swedish handbook from 1927 in the Husmoderns Handböcker series, on two traditional pictorial weaving techniques: flamskväv (Scanian tapestry weaving of the gobelin type) and finnväv (two-layer double weave, also called finsketäcke). It opens with a history of pictorial weaving from antiquity, Coptic textiles and the Nordic Middle Ages through to Swedish folk tradition. Practical instructions follow. For tapestry these cover the loom, warping, heddle (solv) knotting and weaving figures. For double weave they cover the four-shaft, four-treadle loom, two-colour warping, threading, and pattern pick-up with a shed stick. Illustrated with museum photographs of Swedish textiles from Skåne, Bohuslän and elsewhere. The last pages advertise other titles in the series.
