Excerpt from Hardanger and Gittertyl Art Embroidery This little town of Northern Europe has given a name to an embroidery that 'has spread over nearly all Europe, and also found its way to this country. Hardanger embroidery is, of course, new to most Americans; but if you have ever travelled through Norway, Sweden or Den mark, you will learn that almost every child knows what the work is. It is taught in the schools, and many a mother shows, with pride, sheets, pillow cases, centrepieces and scarfs of Hardanger work made by the hands of her young children.
