Authors: Debby Greenlaw

Weavers around the world have been searching for a book that explores the delightful motifs of the Scandinavian weaving technique known as krokbragd. Krokbragd: How to Design & Weave fills that niche and provides a comprehensive look at this beautiful weaving technique.

In this book, Debby Greenlaw brings together the traditional aspects of krokbragd with a fresh, contemporary approach to creating stunning textiles. You will explore the structure and design of krokbragd for the floor, table, and rigid-heddle looms.

In addition to traditional single krokbragd, exciting variations such as double point krokbragd and turned krokbragd are also covered.

Each topic is supplemented with a project that allows the weaver to gain hands-on experience with the technique.

Debby provides guidance on yarn and color selection, design, and finishing techniques to create and weave uniquely personal krokbragd pieces.Whether you’re a weaver or a lover of Scandinavian textiles, you’ll enjoy Krokbragd: How to Design and Weave. 

Debby Greenlaw traded her suburban home for a farmhouse in the country; replaced her skirts and lab coat with T-shirt dresses and comfortable work shoes; and happily shovels goat poop at the crack of dawn rather than sitting in rush hour traffic.
Along with her best friend and husband Pete, Debby bought and subsequently restored a 14.5 acre farm in South Carolina. They share Green Pastures Farm with a cadre of dairy goats, chickens, a mini donkey, a barn cat, and a playful pup. Over the past decade, Debby has taught herself skills that were once common to her ancestors, from delivering baby animals to spinning fiber and weaving fabric. Debby shares the skills learned, adventures experienced, and insights gleaned through teaching, writing, and her blog Flora & Fiber. Debby is also the author of Krokbragd Patterns.
