The library in Borlänge show up Wednesday 26th of November a fine exhibition of carpets from Alice Lund Textiles.

When we were in the studio this weekend we saw a brand new,  rölakansmatta with fine blends of fields (see  photo).

The library was shown rölakan, rosepath and photos of several interiors made over the years.

We wish ALT (Alice Lund Textiles) good luck and will return with a reportage in the VÄV-Scandinavian Weaving Magazine 2/15.

Some highlights of the exhibition:

New rölakansmatta, design Alice Lund.

An interior of the exhibition, quite right retro with  samples for drapery delivered to the Embassy in Beijing.

The carpet is another variation of the one in the middle.

Below, a classic rug, “Lund-carpet” in the rosepath. Traditional yet completely private, as it should be at Alice Lund!

Hi all the friends to VÄV!

The Friday blog will not be an outsidereportage

but a glimpse behind the walls of Vävmagasinet.

This weekend is the weekend for READING and CHECKING

Next week goes Vävmagasinet to print!

Three weeks with nice people, all interested in Textile. We have really met a treasure.

Or a textile with handpicked feathers, Huari 600-900 A.D.

Thank you all in Chari for your hospitality. See you again!

We continued to Cusco and a visit with Nilda Callanaupa working with the Peruvian textile tradition.

Her latest book, Faces of Tradition – Weaving Elders of the Andes

available on Amazon. The book is reviewed in the next issue of VÄV– Scandinavian Weaving Magazine

Are you going to Cusco is a visit to the Textile Center an experience.

It offers a rich variety of weaving techniques of a very fine quality, knitted creations and a very nice museum.

From vävmagasinet we wish you all a lovely weekend. We are now working on with the next issue due out in late November.

In our February issue will be a little bit more from Peru, including the fiber from the cute alpacas and their camel relative of the llama.

In the textile center I bought, among other things, a fine potato sack in alpaca and llama fiber. That you will see then!
