"Wadmal and weaving formed the basis of an important part of women's history. We felt a longing and a need to look closer at that history and, at the same time, to bring the old loom back to life... "

The main authors Hildur Hákonardóttir, Elizabeth Johnston and Marta Kløve Juuhl have, for almost six years, inspired each other and others to contribute to this interdisciplinary book about the North Atlantic Cultural Heritage, represented by the Warp-Weighted Loom.

 

The result is a story in three parts; the Loom History in Iceland, Shetland and Norway; an exceptional Practical Handbook which also shows the strong connection between science and good practical handicraft, and the textile findings from prehistoric and historic times.

An absolute necessity for those arranging courses in these old techniques!

Main text is in English and important recipes also in Icelandic and Norwegian.  If you buy the book, we can, on request, send you a copy of the historical chapter in the web book in Norwegian. Contact us by email: post@muho.no
