Bridal crown

Bridal crown

The bridal crown is made in the nålbidning of Northen Värmland with black wool yarn with flower embroidery and decorated with borders of red wool yarn. The embroidery have the traditional flowers of the mittens such as: rose, viola/pansy and myosotis/forget-me-nots. The red border around is ”crows kicks”, and marks where the mitten, but in this case the crown, was made.
