Four days in Dala-Floda

Traditional embroidered woman´s jacket from Dala-Floda

I have just arrived home after four very inspiring days in Dala-Floda. I wrote a post about the courses in Dala-Floda in March. This was the course in twined knitting and traditional embroidery in Dala-Floda and surrounding parts of Dalarna. Ann-Karin Jobs Arnberg and Karin Kahnlund delivered beyond expectations and I think that many of us attending these days were a bit overwhelmed (in the nicest possible way). In this post I will not go into details - I`ll just share some of my photos.

Wonderful surroundings
