This is AMAZING! I feel so privileged to get to see it! I speak only English, but I could understand what was going on. This is precious historical information. I hope it is well preserved for all future generations to learn from.

Love this! Thank you, Marta Hoffmann for preserving this form of weaving in film (and making it easier for those of us learning it now).

This video is a treasure.

thank you, beautiful video.

I really enjoyed watching this, would love to know how long those stone warp weights and the wood frame had been used by that same family.

For my own and public service (as I find this invaluable for my book research but I do not speak Norwegian), I am going to use Google Translate and post the English translation of each card. I know it is not perfect (as some google translations don't make complete sense), but if there is someone here who is bilingual who could reply with clarifications/corrections, that would be lovely!

1st card: Already having trouble. :P Google insists that the first word be divided into åkle veving, and then the only terms it translates are veving=weaving and på=on. So it's [some specific type of] weaving on [something].

3rd card: in a couple of places in Norway, a very old type of loom is still in use, an upright loom with a boom up, and with the warp tightened with the help of stone.

5th card: it was used for utility weaving and for artificial weaving.

Thank you for this! Would there be any indication for how long the weaving took to complete?

Hvordan knøt man kljåsteinene når det skulle veves større lengder, som vadmel til seilduk? Brukte man slippstikk slik at det var lettvint å justere steinenes posisjon etterhvert som man trengte mer renning fra den bakre rullen?

Flott film. Lenge leve den norske folkesjelen:)

I wonder if that is handspun yarn they are using...

20:10 Og man venter selvfølgelig med å spandere fargefilm til det er helt nødvendig.. Ola nordmann i et nøtteskall!

Is this language from Norway?

I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to translate the title cards in the video into English? I'm so sorry, I wish I spoke the language, but I don't and I'd really love to know what they say. Thanks in advance if anyone does!

@TahniMara, I don't speak Norwegian either, but I've gone through and tried Google translate on all the title cards and posted them under my separate comment. It doesn't work very well, but I'm hoping that people will be more inclined to be helpful if they are correcting the mistakes that Google Translate makes rather than doing the full translation themselves.

13:04 Egentlig så fingerhekler de luftmasker omkring hver av de dobbelte renningstrådene. En stor heklenål ville ha kortet ned tiden de bruker på denne biten av prosjektet.
