What is it that about the Swedish traditional weaves that is both distinct and so satisfying to our weavers eye? In this round robin class, we will explore monks belt, daldrall (overshot), halvdrall, rosepath, crackle, twills, Swedish lace and more as well as simple tape woven hanging loops, all in 8/2 cotton and cotton/linen yarns.
