About The Author
Heather Torgenrud
Heather Torgenrud studied traditional weaving in Norway and Sweden, and teaches pick-up techniques and bandweaving, including at the Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum. Her articles and patterns have appeared in publications such as Handwoven and the Norwegian Textile Letter. Heather originally taught herself to weave on a table loom. In 1972, the gift of an inkle loom sparked a fascination with pick-up. After spending time studying and documenting museum bands, she combined her passion for traditional bands and her practical approach to color to focus on pattern design. She is also the author of Norwegian Pick-Up Bandweaving.
