Krokbragd Online Weaving Class - Video instructions + Complete PDF guide - Weave a wall hanging on a Frame loom - By Nushu Textiles

ABOUT THIS ONLINE CLASS

For a long time I've been wanting to offer multimedia learning resources and the day has finally come. If you've been here for a while you might know all learning resources I've developed and designed are mostly in a written format, but not anymore!

For this first weaving online class, and I say "first" because I hope there are many more classes to come, you'll get online, private and for life access to a super detailed video instructions PLUS a complete guide with photographies showing the beginning-to-end process of this adorable wall hanging woven with the beloved Scandinavian technique Krokbragd.

The guide is a 122 pages downloadable PDF including everything you need to know about how and why the Krokbragd technique works; with more than 300 photographies, written instructions working hand-in-hand with the full pattern grid. The steps shown in this guide follow through the same steps as the video tutorial. I promise it can't get more detailed that this.

About Krokbragd

Krokbragd is a Scandinavian weaving technique that gives as result thick, compact and multicolored textiles. Scandinavian women used to wove rugs, blankets and tapestries with this technique, among other homely textiles for the daily life. I always say that Krokbragd is like colorwork for knitting but make it for a loom.

It's very interesting because with the same sequence that always repeats itself, by just changing colours you can create an unlimited variety of designs. It's magical and really impressive!

Are these motifs designed to weave on a rigid heddle loom?

No, all motifs are designed as grids to weave row by row and don't include explanations of how to set the threading, treadling or any other rigid heddle loom setting content. However, you can weave these motifs as long as you take the time to adapt them but I must say this is up to you.
