We had a challenge on the course to do a present to a famous person and I choosed Karin Larsson,a famous designer but most known as wife to a painter Carl Larsson.I was inspired by curtains she made for the bedroom of her husband.Often she made things in white/off-white linen fabric but I also saw some in black wool fabric with embroideries in bright colours.
Mostly used wool fabrics and inside cotton.The embroidery is made by linen yarn and red beads.
Now I'm knitting mittens in black and I hope I can do some embroideries on them.
