Bring the warmth and beauty of Nordic culture into your life through the work of your own hands. For makers who love the timeless Scandinavian aesthetic and way of life, this is an armchair tour especially for you! As you explore each cultural aspect of the Nordic region, learn how those values are reflected in customs, crafts, and folk arts. Allowing beginning crafters to achieve beautiful results and experienced crafters to try new designs, the 25 projects mix unusual and more-familiar patterns and techniques, ranging from danskbrogd pillows and monk's belt guest towels to knitted bags, rosemaling with wool, a rug inspired by Icelandic terrain, and many others.

  • Enjoy learning about some of the values and beliefs core to Scandinavian life—nature, community, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
  • For each, create 4 to 7 thoughtfully designed fiber arts projects featuring knitting, felting, and weaving.

    With an understanding of the vibrant cultures behind Nordic making, your handcrafting will become even more meaningful to you.
