About Vävstuga Press
The Press emerged from my weaving business in 2002. After attending my weaving classes, students wished to continue studying but were experiencing trouble finding important resources. I founded the Press as a way to provide access to rare and out-of-print Swedish weaving books, and to create English translations of books currently only available in Swedish. Due to the existence of so many wonderful Swedish books, I see this as a lifetime venture!
