Swedish Slöjd by Kerstin Neumuller

The Swedish art of wood and textile crafts—slow, tactile, and joyfully imperfect.

This book is a love letter to making with your hands. In Sweden, slöjd isn’t just a craft—it’s a way of thinking, living, and learning. And now, for the first time in English, this vibrant tradition is available to makers around the world.

Slöjd is full of unfussy, soul-satisfying projects—sew a cap, carve a peg rail, dye yarn with birch leaves, mend your jeans, or piece together a cozy patchwork. All 18 projects are designed to build skills, encourage creativity, and celebrate that moment when something goes from made to yours.
