I am researching Norwegian Sami culture. Do your books cover this? Does your newest book ‘Weaving Patterned Bands’ replicate your previous books on Sami bandweaving? Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting. My book Weaving Pattern Bands covers only bands with 5, 7 and 9 pattern threads. I hoped to provide a detailed introduction to this style of weaving. It does not cover the same ground as my books on Sami band weaving. There are two excellent books published in Norway about traditional Sami weaving. I am away from home right now but I will get back to you when I return . Good luck with the research on this wonderful culture.
