Krokbragd: Contemporary Weaving with Colour, Angie Parker

Krokbragd is a sumptuous, practical exploration of the traditional Norwegian bound-weave technique known as krokbragd, reimagined for the modern maker. With over 400 vibrant photographs and clear step-by-step instructions, Angie Parker guides weavers of all levels through warp preparation, pattern design, colour blending and finishing. The book not only honours the age-old Scandinavian legacy but also shows how to give it a 21st-century twist—making rugs, wall hangings and furnishings that feel both rooted and fresh.

From joyful colour combinations to exquisite finishing details, each project and design is chosen to inspire—not intimidate. Whether you’re drawn to the rhythmic geometry inherent in Scandinavian weave or seeking ways to repurpose colour and texture, this volume offers both technical mastery and visual delight.
