Krokbragd weaving patterns

Of the many interesting stops on the Vesterheim 2017 Textile Tour, none had a particular focus on krokbragd, a popular type of Norwegian weave structure. Yet… they keep showing up. The lates…

For today’s post we travel to the other side of the globe: Scandinavia! To discover another of my favourite weaving structures: Krokbragd!
