Description
Narrow bands woven in colorful patterns are a centuries-old part of Baltic craft tradition. This book offers beginners instructions for using the double-slotted heddle, a technique that makes patterned band weaving quicker to learn and easier to do. With minimal equipment needed, you can create beautiful bands that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as straps, belts, bracelets, and handfasting bands. Color photographs illustrate the instructions for learning to weave, and over 140 patterns are included, along with principles for planning your own unique designs. The book explores the traditional patterns woven in Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Norway, offering inspiration for your own creations.
