How Druvklasen came to Nystuga
After Hjalmar Johansson, Klässbol's founder, completed his textile education in 1912-1915 in Borås, he brought two books home to Värmland. Both were written by JE Ekenmark. One book, Handbook for young women in the art of making cotton and linen fabrics according to English instructions and own experiments , was published in 1820. The other book, Afhandling om dräller och dubbla golfmattors mandrelsing med begagnande harnesk-utwerking, was published in 1828.
In these two books, Hjalmar found the pattern " Druvklasen " and decided to start weaving the pattern on his well-equipped jacquard loom in the living room of the Nystuga home. The pattern that breathes celebration now slowly took shape again. Today, almost 200 years later from the origin of the original pattern, there are new colors and ready to face the future and festive dinner parties.
