Swedish Weaving
What is Swedish Weaving?
Swedish Weaving is a traditional stitching technique that was first found among linens dated to the 1600′s. Its origin has not been precisely identified. It is also known as Huck Weaving, taking the name from a type of fabric on which it was stitched, called huck toweling or huckabuck.
Swedish weaving was popular in this country until around the 1950′s and is experiencing a resurgence today. It ha
s expanded beyond dishcloths and aprons to include the use of Monks Cloth, waffle cloth and Stockholm fabric to create afghans, baby blankets, table runners, placemats, wall hangings and even bath robes.
Swedish weaving is easily mastered, with projects that that work up quickly. Swedish Weaving is a fun and relaxing stitchery craft that is easy to learn. No experience needed! Simply weave yarn through fabric to achieve intricate designs. (It’s easier to learn than knitting!)
