I learned the basic things of weaving for more than thirty years ago, but have not practised it enough to master the art. Since I now have more time, I decided to start everything from the beginning.
Youtube is a treasure chest of ideas. There I found a very good video from the Norwegian Handicraft Association (Norges husflidslag) and another, quite similar (but not as good) from the Swedish one (Hemslöjd). From Finland I ordered two booklets, both from Mallikerta,which were very good, but they would not have sufficed, if I had not had previous knowledge and experience of weaving. But they added to my previous knowledge and helped me to understand better how to set up my new contramarch. Somehow it seems that those who know how to do things, cannot imagine what problems simple things can rise for a novice. But it is the simple things that are the most important and the ones that we want to get an answer for!
