It was amazing to hear the stories about Falun's important impact on Sweden's prosperity. The mine is no longer active and is now a world cultural heritage site. To me, the Swedish soul is in the red cabins, the folklore theatre and the Swedish crispbread. Dalarna is simply a balm for the soul, and I wanted to honour the most Swedish symbol we have through my interpretation of our dalahäst.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oldest mention of Dalarna is from the “Sverresagan” from the late 1100s, in which the landscape was called Järnbärarland and was described as a pagan land. Early on, the southern parts of the region, as well as the Bergslagen area, was industrialised. The region otherwise remained a settler area, especially in the areas around Siljan and Dalälven.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFalu mine is one of Sweden's oldest copper mines. The work at the mine was dangerous and arduous, but as early as the 1600s the miners had a fair wage and regulated working hours. Technical knowledge was high, and the best engineers in Europe worked to streamline production. During the 1600s, Falu mine was Sweden's largest and most modern workplace, responsible for over 70 percent of Europe's copper production. The mine was called Sweden's treasure chest and its development influenced the economic, social and political situation in Sweden as well as Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oejbro Vantfabrik","offers":[{"title":"Darlana Blue \/ 50x50cm","offer_id":52826909114665,"sku":"OJB-cushion-cover-50x50-Darlana-BLA","price":132.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Darlana Red \/ 50x50cm","offer_id":52826913800489,"sku":"OJB-cushion-cover-50x50-Darlana-ROD","price":132.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/7741\/files\/OEJBRO-Vantfabrik-Woven-Wool-Cushion-Cover-Dalarna-01.jpg?v=1773989006","url":"https:\/\/www.woollykins.com.au\/products\/oejbro-wool-cushion-cover-50x50cm-darlana","provider":"Woollykins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
