Teaches weavers

• designs for exquisite original bands woven in the Baltic-style pick-up technique found in many cultures;

• the tremendous variety that's possible, even with narrow pick-up patterns that adhere closely to traditional design conventions;

• practical color approaches specifically related to bandweaving; and

• how the band design process works, for insights you can apply to designing your own patterns.



Whether you weave bands on an inkle loom, a Scandinavian band heddle, or even a floor loom, this go-to reference stands the test of time for ideas and inspiration.

Heather Torgenrud studied traditional weaving in Norway and Sweden, and teaches pick-up techniques and bandweaving, including at the Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum. Her articles and patterns have appeared in publications such as Handwoven and the Norwegian Textile Letter. Heather originally taught herself to weave on a table loom. In 1972, the gift of an inkle loom sparked a fascination with pick-up. After spending time studying and documenting museum bands, she combined her passion for traditional bands and her practical approach to color to focus on pattern design. She is also the author of Norwegian Pick-Up Bandweaving. Visit her at norwegianpickupbandweaving.com.
