{"product_id":"norwegian-pick-up-bandweaving-9780764347511","title":"Norwegian Pick-Up Bandweaving","description":"For the first time in English, a complete book about Norwegian pick-up bandweaving--from its fascinating history to beautiful bands you can make yourself, with more than 100 pattern charts from bands in museum collections. Part 1 tells the story of how these bands were used in the rural communities of 18th and 19th century Norway, as stocking bands, swaddling bands, sending bands, and more. Part 2 looks closely at twenty bands brought to America by Norwegian immigrants, and what they tell us about traditional patterns, colors, and materials. Part 3 has clear and concise instructions for weaving pick-up on simple, traditional band heddles, and these instructions can also be adapted to other kinds of looms. Meticulously researched, easy-to-read, and profusely illustrated, this book is destined to become a classic in the field. It will interest not only weavers but anyone who appreciates textile arts, folk costumes, and Norwegian culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeather Torgenrud has woven pick-up bands for more than forty years, taught many classes, and published her work in Handwoven magazine.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Craft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50692859658514,"sku":"9780764347511","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_aba2a536-6992-4231-a415-5a980e875b70.jpg?v=1734135735","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/norwegian-pick-up-bandweaving-9780764347511","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
