I am on number three. I really like this hobby!
What is it?
Dear Swedish Weaving Enthusiast,
Welcome to the wonderful world of Swedish weaving!
Swedish weaving, a form of embroidery, is a very relaxing and fun needle craft that dates back several centuries. In more recent times, this old needle craft has also been known as Swedish huck weaving, huckaback darning, huck embroidery and punto yugoslavo.
In the 1930's and 1940's, Swedish huck weaving on toweling was so popular that many designs were created. Some of these designs have been adapted for use with Monk's cloth.
Today, the resurgence of Swedish weaving on Monk's cloth has made it once again very popular and the hottest needlecraft to do.
In fact, our email is telling us that quilters and other crafters are finding Swedish weaving a relaxing and fun alternative with a beautiful result.
The beauty of this needle craft is that it only requires a few items:
Monk's cloth
4-ply yarn
a #13 yarn needle
a pair of scissors
a pattern
Absolutely gorgeous! You're really going to town, I expect to see Mac with a fancy afghan all his own soon!
