Den dansande damastvävaren [The Dancing Damask Weaver]

by Berit Eldvik

Calling all drawloom weavers! Yes, lots of text in Swedish but so many fabulous photographs and damask designs at the end!

From the publisher:
The estate owner and damask weaver Carl Gustaf Widlund was one of Sweden's most skilled damask weavers. He created his damask weaving mill on the Tranjerdstorp estate in Värmland and was the last in the chain of damask weavers, a male profession with traditions in Sweden from the early 18th century. The Dancing Damask Weaver is about his exciting life with a passion for weaving, tango and samba, and provides the background to the last large hand-weaving mill for first-class damask cloth, the finest that existed during the 20th century. The book ends with a list of patterns. A beautiful book that is a must for all textile enthusiasts!
