Swedish band weaving

Swedish band weaving is a traditional textile craft where narrow, colorful strips of fabric called bands are woven together into decorative patterns. Using a simple loom or even hand-held tools, artisans interlace the bands to create intricate designs, often inspired by folk motifs. This technique is valued for its cultural significance and versatility, used to decorate clothing, accessories, and home textiles. Band weaving combines craftsmanship with artistic expression, preserving a rich Swedish heritage through detailed, durable, and visually appealing woven strips.
