We have substantial experience with liturgical textiles and can accommodate commissions both small and large. A gold-embroidered cope, chasuble with matching stole, chancel rug or handwoven pall - every object is unique and is designed for its specific milieu.

Pall for Norra Griftegården cemetery in Borlänge, woven 2015. Designed by Alice Lund Textilier and woven by Ebba Bergström and Tova Vibrandt.
A pall from Alice Lund Textilier, made of wool and linen in a sober and reverential design. It is important that the composition of the pall interacts with the atmosphere and colors of the church interior.

Asktäcke, Norra Griftegården 2020.
“Asktäcket” is a new version of a funeral pall, smaller in size to be accompanied with a cardboard box instead of an urn. The colors and design is made to fit the church and it is handwoven of wool, linnen and metal thread.

Chancel rug for Rättvik Church, 2017.
The studio produces handwoven chancel rugs as well as other rugs designed to suit church interiors. We handweave the rugs with a linen warp and wool in the weft, in techniques such as rölakan (flatweave) and rosepath.
Alice Lund Textilier has produced liturgical textiles since 1936, handwoven and sewn at the Borlänge studio for priests’ vestments and decoration of the church interior. Every piece is designed in dialogue with the congregation that orders it. We weave with wool and linen in a composition and colorway that suit each individual church. The studio also creates handwoven textiles for decorating the altar, such as antependium and frontlets, as well as smaller liturgical textiles such as stoles, burses and altar cloths. Often we use handwoven fabric that we then embroider by hand.
