This tablet woven band is made from (probably) linen with silver thread, both second hand. I used tablets made from old milk cartons and a bone needle I made myself. Total cost: 35kr and about 45 hours.
The brocade pattern is based on the beautiful band 2 from Birka grave 824.

Next course starts 29th of April!

⛰️And then there are the needles I found a while ago on Gran Canaria that are double that length. These actually inspire fibre crafts just from looking at them. Looking forward to crafting a nice memento from these 🧺

🏡Then there are two species that you can find in Sweden but are both imported into parks and gardens. It's these we use in my workshops, with needles about 10 cm.

I love inspiring people through teaching! But I also make custom orders. In both my courses and products I make sure that most materials are either natural or upcycled/recycled! I want more than anything to make the world a better place...
