Teno 12

Last but not least my other favorite (with Teno 10) from Erkki Vaalama’s series. On some references this in number 11 but again I use Pertti Kanerva’s latest article on the subject for the numbering as it was confirmed by Vaalama himself. Teno 12 reminds me of a reversed Mar Lodge but with some amazing details rarely seen on other patterns like the capercaillie hackle under red hackle. This has sometimes been tied with embossed silver also and B&G Macaw horns but I like this version better which was featured in the book Wanhat Suomalaiset Lohiperhot.
