The style of embroidery introduced here is known as Huck embroidery or Swedish weaving. This particular style of embroidery commonly employs a needle with a bent end to produce stitching that flows across the top of a type of cloth called “Huck.” The term “Swedish weaving” comes from the fact that antique linens, dating to the 1600’s, contain Huck embroidery techniques and most of those same linens were found in Sweden. Huck embroidery became a very popular technique for making charming dish towels in 1930’s and 40’s. In recent years however, classic and retro Huck embroidery designs have been catching people’s attention and there has been a revival. This book offers instructions on basic Huck stitches and presents ninety authors’ original design samplers.
