Vävgladje (Happy Weaving) book and English supplement
Väv Gladje (Happy Weaving), a popular book from Väv Magasinet, is back in stock! We are delighted to offer this book from the previous editor of Väv Magasinet, Lillemor Johansson. In it she presents a collection of 50 favorites from her magazine from the 1982-2003 era. Vävstuga has created an English supplement to accompany the text. The translation includes many commonly used Swedish weaving terms which could also be useful to you when reading other Swedish weaving texts. The book should appear on our web store soon.

May Drawloom ABC and Vävstuga Favorites
Our combined Drawloom ABC and Vävstuga Favorites classes created some beautiful projects out at the farm house early this month.
Three of the students in these classes agreed to return during the Barn Fest on June 9th to finish, and demonstrate, their beautiful projects including Shaft Drawloom, Smålandsväv, and Honeycomb Curtains. Be sure to stop in the farm house when you are at the festival and say hello to Helen, Ellen, and Lisa and view their wonderful weaving talents!
Join us at Vävstuga for a great class, visit our store (Tues–Fri 9–3) or our web store any time, and check out our Facebook page and Ravelry group.
