Summary

Master Swedish weaving, also known as huck embroidery, with 50 designs for modern homewares, accessories, and more

Swedish weaving, also known as "huck embroidery" or "huck weaving," is a needlework style that has existed for hundreds of years. This book contains everything stitchers need to complete Swedish weaving (huck embroidery) designs, making it perfect for both seasoned stitchers and beginners who are just trying the craft for the first time.

This book includes the types of fabric, needles, and thread used, and a handy stitch guide showing the stitches necessary to create unique heirloom textiles that will not date. Projects include towels, runners, coasters, ornaments, cards, pillows, table toppers, jar cozies, gift bags, afghans, baby blankets, and wall hangings. Each project is labeled as either level 1, 2, or 3, making it easy for a range of stitchers to choose their own difficulty level and move at their own pace.
