It's fascinating to think about the origins of items that are now common in our holiday culture. Today, Maker Team member Katie of @katie_kinsman_artist is honoring the traditional Dala Horse with a new felt verison. This tutorial is adaptable to many skill levels and is certain to be a success with Katie as our teacher! Dala Horses have become a symbol for the country of Sweden. They are brightly painted wooden horses originating from the Swedish province of Dalarna. Many of us are familiar with the bright red horse with floral designs covering its surface.

On request from Meg I continued looking in the museum catalogue. And I found two more "interesting" descriptions: Weaving reed Material: Wood, Textile Technique: Knotted Function: Dividing the warp The [weaving] reed sits near the cloth beams [yes, plural - my note] in a weaving loom, directly in front of the shafts. It's function is to divide the threads. The rectangular reeds consist of a wooden frame, into which thin blades of wood (in one instance metal) are mounted with a textile band. Weaving shuttle Material: wood Technique: carpentered [my dictionary says "carpenter" is a verb, so it must be correct...?] Function: weaving Shuttle. A cloth consists of two thread systems, warp and weft. The warp is tensioned during weaving and is crossed at right angles by the weft. With the help of the shuttle, the weft is inserted from side to side between the warp ends. The weft can go over and under the warp ends. With a treadle loom the lifting and lowering of the warp ends is done by the treadles. The shuttle is [quill-shaped?], with a hole in which a dowel is fixed. The weft is fastened around the dowel. One [of the shuttles] is patterned in two places. In all fairness: at Murberget, they have elected to transcribe the text in the old paper catalogue. These two artefacts have no pictures, but in many instances they show the handwritten paper entry, often from the 1920-1940ies. Here is one example. (I have often marvelled at what the museum generalists came up with a hundred years ago... but that is another story.) So, Murberget uses the original texts/descriptions - most other museums do not. I remember looking in the Nordiska museets paper catalogue, and... let me say I can understand why they do not transcribe indiscriminately. However, what is interesting about yesterday's post is that it is written after 1991. As I recall, there were several books about spinning and spinning wheels out by then, even written by Swedish authors... And even generalists should be able to read? Now, to cheer us all up, a picture: The picture comes from here. Be sure to click the pic to biggify!
