About Krokbragd
Krokbragd is a Scandinavian weaving technique that gives as a result thick and compact textiles with plenty of color usage. Scandinavian women used to wove rugs, blankets and tapestries with this technique, among other homely textiles for the daily life.
It's a very interesting technique because with the same sequence that always repeats itself, and by just changing colors you can create an unlimited amount of designs. It's magical and really impressive!
Who is this booklet oriented to?
It's oriented to weavers who already have a basic knowledge about frame loom (how to warp it, how to tabby weave, extract textile from it, basic terms such as warp, weft, comb down, etc.).
If you are just jumping into the weaving world of frame loom I suggest you my "Weaving Guide - Creating my first woven wall hanging on a frame loom" >>> https://www.etsy.com/listing/1066415253/weaving-guide-creating-my-first-woven
It's a beginners guide with everything you need to know.
Can these motifs be woven on my rigid heddle loom or inkle loom?
Yes, but keep into account it doesn't include an explanation on how to prepare the warp based on the Krokbragd sequence.
These are grids in where I show you row by row how to weave each motif with their respective color change.
