The shop moved from Linköping to Vadstena some years ago, it is likely
to have limited opening hours at this time of the year.

The shop in Nordiska Museet in Stockholm may have something of
interest, and ordinary handicraft shops may have Swedish linen thread
and bobbins.

Many years ago I saw lace from Karelia at the National Museum in
Helsinki, but the exhibition is likely to have changed several times
since then.

When I was in Stockholm some years ago, I made a daytrip visit to Vadstena,
where I found two excellent lace supply shops.  I believe the Swedish Lace
Guild has a shop in Linkoping which is also within a daytrip of Stockholm.
The shops in Vadstena were well worth the trouble of the trip.  There's a Folk
Museum in Stockholm that has, or had in 1999 I should say, a display of folk
costumes with quite a bit of lace on them.  My husband and I had an excellent
dinner at Tre Fem Hus in the oldest part of town.  Wish I was going!

[lace] Finland and Sweden

2008-03-25 Thread Cindy Rusak

Dear Arachnes,

My husband will be in Helsinki, Finland and Stockholm, Sweden this coming 
weekend.  He has about 1-1/2 days in each city.  Are there any lace shops 
or places that he could visit for me in either city?  I did look at 
Lacefairy's site but it seems like most of the lacemaking centers are in 
other parts of each country.  I wish I could be there with him but it just 
wasn't possible.


Thanks for any suggestions,
Cindy Rusak - in grey Wisconsin
