This small booklet documents the tradition of hairwork in Sweden. It describes everything from the beginning of hairwork in Dalarna dating back to the first decades of the nineteenth century and the origin on horse hairwork proposed to have spawned from the human hair work in the regions north of Lake Siljan. There are black and white as well as color images of people dating back to the mid 1800s wearing various hairwork.
