Do Swedish Weaving on Huck Toweling and Aida Cloth

Swedish
LEARN SWEDISH WEAVING EMBROIDERY:

Swedish weaving or Swedish embroidery is an old needlework craft that has made a return on the crafts scene.  I taught Swedish weaving when I was in 4-H half a century ago, and still do some Swedish weaving on Aida cloth or Huck toweling occasionally.

If you can thread a needle and follow instructions, you can do Swedish embroidery or Swedish weaving crafts.  You will need an evenweave fabric or Huck toweling, a cross-stitch needle with a dull point, and some embroidery thread.  You can make your own pattern or design by marking squares on a grid paper.   

If you have a renewed interest in Swedish weaving, have some fun with it again, and if you have never tried it, have some fun with a new needlecrafts project.

See you soon with more needlework crafts, sewing and stitching fun!
