THE FARM WEAVING STUDIO
'FJÄRDEN' Collection
Represents a limited edition seasonal line of woven items. Each piece is a testament to the rich history and heritage of handweaving, with a touch of modernity and a deep connection to the land it comes from a celebration of the beauty and authenticity of handmade textiles.
“We have to be appreciated for the level of craftsmanship, and we are proud of this production form. I am very clear about this and have understood the positive aspect of social responsibility, especially when we talk about the environment. Consumer questions, such as how was this produced, who made it, and why? Should be very important”
– Anna Charlotte interview, the British magazine Carpet & Rugs Review 2012

MATERIAL
WEAVING
HANDKNOTTED RYA
The knotted rya rug has a long handknotted pile. The pattern is rarely detailed but receives its unique character from the yarn’s pile. In the “Aurora Borealis” collection, the beautiful rya texture is well presented.
HANDKNOTTED RELIEF PILE
The knotted relief pile includes both flatweave and knotted areas. The pile is hand knotted, and the woven background emerges between the relief pattern – the technique used in the rug design “Terroir”.
HANDKNOTTED
The handknotted rugs are individually crafted masterpieces, skillfully made by our artisans. The yarn is knotted around a vertical warp and fastened by hand into an individual knot.
HANDWOVEN
The Fjärden collection showcases the exquisite Scandinavian Röllakan technique. Woven to achieve a flawlessly flat surface by tightly interweaving the warp and weft strands.
