Svalnäs
Welcome to the world of Tunisian crochet. Svalnäs is not woven, knitted, or crocheted. It is worked in Tunisian Full Stitch, which is one of many Tunisian crochet stitches - maybe even the nicest! If you have had previous experience with knitting or crochet and want to try Tunisian crochet, this is the perfect project to begin with. You’ll find instruction videos on the technique on Järbo’s YouTube channel. Tunisian crochet produces a durable and very decorative result which is excellent for pillow covers. Wool is long lasting and the cover can be removed and washed by hand or in the wool cycle of your machine, so you’re sure to get many years’ use out of it.
