Description of the Product
Finland has a unique tablet weaving culture dating back a thousand years to the Finnish Iron Age when weavers created incredibly elaborate bands. Thanks to new, thorough research by the authors, these bands and their weaving techniques are now revived for the modern people to admire and to weave.
Tablet weaving has a simple basic principle. A square tablet has a hole in each corner and yarns going through the holes. The threading direction, the colour of the yarns, the direction of the tablets, and the way they are turned – all of them affect the outcome: will the band be beautiful in its simplicity, or impressive in its intricacy.
All the bands in this book are based on archaeological finds from Finland. Tablet-woven treasures buried in the ground a thousand years ago have come alive again.
This book is on Finnish tabletwoven bands from the Iron age. In addition to scholarly information, the book also has ample practical advice on recreating the 56 archaeological bands.
Please note that this book is the English translation of Nauha-aarteita - Arkeologisia lautanauhoja Suomen rautakaudelta!

Amazing book! I love that every pattern comes with a picture of the find it’s linked too. The book came in with the cover slightly damaged though. It’s not too bad, but it’s still a cut right at the cover’s fold just before where it’s glued. So, if you’re ordering the book from outside Europe, keep in mind that shipping might damage it.

Superbe livre qui nous branche sur le passé, la beauté des matières, des harmonies de couleurs, des motifs et des techniques. Un livre indispensable pour tout amoureux de l’art du tissage.
