This wonderful, almost lost, needlework form is experiencing a resurgence in popularity and is being used to make not only towels, but also, table runners, afghans, pillows, place mats, curtains and more. Swedish weave is quite easy to do. It is is a simple and straightforward form of needlework and can be mastered and enjoyed by all ages.
