SWEDISH WEAVING
Also known as huck weaving, Swedish huck weaving or huck embroidery, this fiber art is done on the surface of huck or monk's cloth. The basket weave of monk's cloth has the 4 over and 4 under weave of the threads. The yarn is worked under the top threads which are called "floats". All you need to get started is washed (pre-shrunk) monk's cloth, 4-ply yarn, a #13 yarn needle, scissors and a pattern.
Try making up your own designs!
