Nordic Hands (a book review for those who may not have finished their holiday shopping)

Dear Norwegian Textile Letter friends,

Anita Osterhaug, the former editor of Handwoven magazine, wrote a warm, interesting, and beautifully-illustrated book about Nordic culture and handcraft, Nordic Hands: 21 Fiber Craft Objects to Discover Scandinavian Culture. The projects at the heart of the book are imaginative and beautifully designed by a variety of Nordic fiber experts. I wanted to add this review to the Norwegian Textile Letter before Christmas (phew – that’s just under the wire), because you may know just the right recipient. And sure, that might be yourself! Read the full review.

Happy new year!
