Last spring I thought that I had finished all my booklets, that this was not the case it showed. During autumn both my parents died and I realized that tablet weaving was very therapeutical. Since I am me, I wanted to weave bands after finds and I found out that even if most Viking age tablet woven bands are quite complicated, there were a few simple bands suitable for beginners, but not very well known. When I had studied them, interpreted them and tried weaving them a few times I realized that I had material for one more booklet. It is now ready and sent for printing, so I hope it will be available for everyone within two weeks.
When the booklet is available I also plan to start selling try-it-kits with warped and started bands from the booklet, to helping people getting started with tablet weaving. I hope that you will apprieciate my news!
Where can I purchase this booklet?
Hello,
I am very interested in learning the weaving/ hand knitting/ sprung techniques .
You mentioned that you will soon be compiling and producing a book of al Scandinavian weaves.
I’d like to know what you will be calling it and the approximate release date.
Additionally, how will I know when it is available and who will contact me so I can make the purchase.
Please send any information that you feel I will benefit from and what I can do to learn or practice in the mean time. Thanks so much for your time and patience with my questions.
I just recently discovered through DNA analysis that I have a large Scandinavian heritage!
I’m very excited to learn the culture! Thank you!
Hi Anne,
I have a booklet about nalbinding, the techniques used by the Vikings instead of knitting. You can order it from me.
Regarding sprang and weaving, I have ideas about booklets but no firm plans yet. At the moment I am releasing Cords and Braids next week and Plant Dyeing 1, about dyeing with mordants, is planned for this autumn. Next year I will release books or booklets about Vendel period clothing.
Best Regards,
Susanna
Susanna,
Thanks for the information.
I am new to all this terms.
Help me understand if the book you are about to release will give instructions for sprang?
Thank you.
The booklet about Cords and Braids will have instructions for a very simple variety of sprang, used to make narrow sprang braids, based on finds from Birka.
