About the Book
Develop your band weaving skills with 70 traditional Swedish patterns. Building on techniques outlined in my book about Sámi Band Weaving, these examples are drawn from the Dalarna region of central Sweden. A chance purchase of a beautifully woven old band led me to research its history and analyse its amazing variety of woven patterns.

40 pages with details of 70 patterns.
