Again, we thought it a bit broad, and decided to start with RUGS - maybe we will exhaust all rug ideas soon, and move on to tablecloths or... - who knows?
See the navigation bar for links to our rug meetings.
I have also collected pictures of rugs from various pages on this site - look here. There are links to pages where the rug(s) first made its appearance (sorry - all text in Swedish). Please note that all "pages" of the calendar are clickable for a bigger view. (Again text only in Swedish - but drafts are universal...)
Some links to rug pages out there in the wide world (right now that means Sweden and UK):
- om trasvävar by Ingrid Elin Franzén and Kerstin Fröberg, in Solvögat 3/2002
- Textilarkivet Västernorrland, a museum in the north of Sweden - some rugs from their collection
- Utsikt från vävstugan, blog of a Swedish rug weaver
- Jason Collingwood (England)
- Jaqueline James (England)
- Snail trail handweavers (Wales)
- Katarina Lees (England - and Sweden)
the picture is borrowed from Jaqueline James
The rug is a three end block weave with "Collingwood" shaft switching. - You can download the Collingwood book The techniques of rug weaving, should you get intrigued...
