Together with Sophie Adlersparre and Molly Rohtlieb, Hanna Winge was the co-founder of the Friends of Handicraft, which was founded in 1874 with the purpose of the development of Swedish textile art. She was the leading force of the society, and became known for her design in the Norse style, such as embroidery patterns with dragons. Her Norse style inspired art and place in the revival of the Norse style within art was also demonstrated in her design for a reformed costume, and the design of the villa of Carl Curman in 1878, for which she and her spouse were engaged as decorators.
