iBooks |
When the IK Foundation publishes books they are produced to achieve the highest level of quality in terms of content as well as of design; we practice a classic craft in which great attention is paid to the choice of paper, typefaces, printing and binding to provide the reader with the very best experience. Our books are made to last for centuries, as they are often used as reference works – we are proud of this tradition and will continue to uphold it in the future.
iBooks have other advantages, including the fact that one can read them freely. We see iBooks as inspiring sources of information and as research tools. Should You wish to experience the printed volumes, they can generally be purchased with an iFellow discount in The IK Bookshop or are available in major libraries around the world.

A book which was primarily based on an in-depth inventory of almost 1,700 double interlocked tapestries in textile collections in northern Europe. It is here presented with an additional summarised English version – in the total of 330 pages.
The English text gives detailed information about each and every chapter as well as a translation of all captions and pattern combinations from the original print. Whilst the original Swedish text is still very much in demand, not least because of its seminal research, detailed content and extensive illustrations as well as drawings of each and every known pattern of this weaving technique. This multi language edition includes:
