Meticulously researched, easy-to-read, and profusely illustrated, this is the perfect hands-on reference for all weavers, as well as anyone who appreciates textile arts, folk costumes, and Norwegian culture. Review: A fantastic book for your reference library! - Put your name in it and loan it to friends only if they give you their car keys or first born as collateral! This is a fantastic book. The photographs are detailed and lovely. The book begins with the history of scandinavian weaving and tools, and the uses for bands. The author is quite detailed. It's a history lesson, but in a 'sitting at your best friend's morning coffee table' kind of way, instead of a dry 7am lecture. That section alone makes it worth the price of admission. She goes on to creation of the band section, where she not only just tells you what to make, but the mechanics behind the process and how to create and design your own. I have highly recommended this book to not only fellow weavers, but to local fiber shops. Review: Worth it!!!! - Great detailed illustrations, step by step. Really appreciate the history section and the honesty detailing when and where these patterned bands can be documented in the historical stream. Good for a beginner who needs to setup a band from scratch. I also loved the practical use section of patterned bands and the Vesterheim museum examples and documentation. The author/weaver has a lot of teaching under her 'belt' and it shows in her presentation of the instructions. Lovely book, lovely pictures, lovely patterns. Glad I bought it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #262,675 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Ribbons #130 in Weaving (Books) #155 in Folkcrafts | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 181 Reviews | ## Images ![Norwegian Pick-Up Bandweaving - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FY7GqoGvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic book for your reference library! *by A***E on May 5, 2019* Put your name in it and loan it to friends only if they give you their car keys or first born as collateral!

Glad I bought it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book even for the beginner *by D***Y on September 28, 2019* As an experienced floor loom and rigid heddle loom weaver, I was intrigued by inkle loom weaving but hesitant to buy an inkle loom. This book is well written, detailed in its step-by-step instructions, and makes taking on a new skill non-intimidating. There are many, many pictures and illustrations which was an unexpected bonus. A few minutes after carefully reading through the first how-to section for the second time, I was ready to start warping and weaving . I used my rigid heddle loom with a reed set on the back of a double heddle support (for extra distance from my work) and a fishing net shuttle I had purchased just the day before from Amazon. I would recommend using your smallest reed (mine is a 12), direct warping with a peg and winding and threading normally. In the future I will probably purchase a pattern heddle and use it as Mrs. Torgenrud shows but you can certainly achieve good results with a rigid heddle. Five stars! ## Frequently Bought Together - Norwegian Pick-Up Bandweaving - Weaving Patterned Bands: How to Create and Design with 5, 7, and 9 Pattern Threads - Pick-Up Bandweaving Designs: 288 Charts for 13 Pattern Ends and Techniques for Arranging Color --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/11421819-norwegian-pick-up-bandweaving](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/11421819-norwegian-pick-up-bandweaving) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
