Well, this is certainly developing into an interesting discussion.
Firstly, going from that lovely l...
I'm off doing things... exciting things!
You might remember that a while ago, I posted about having a project for a reproduction of the tunic worn by the man from Bernuthsfeld.
Well, it's time to get the project into the next stage - which means I'm getting to see the original, and will be starting work on the actual tunic-making together with my colleague. So I'll be off doing exciting things to cloth for the next few days, and thus be taking a break from blogging - I will be back on October 16.
Meanwhile, I will leave you here with a picture of the fabrics that were woven for the tunic and a small mantle-like cloth:

Fabrics woven for the Bernuthsfeld-Project - lots and lots of different ones, many of them just small patches...
And just because I have them, here are a few more pictures of some bits, close-up:
It's going to be so much fun to dye a selection of the fabrics, then cut everything up, roughen them a bit to simulate use-wear, and stitch them together into the tunic!

All these fabrics are custom-woven by hand, as close as we could get them to the originals without having to get hand-spun yarns for all of them. Some are partly hand-spun threads, as there was no suitable machine-spun yarn available, and part of the threads were custom spun in a small mill.
If you want to order similar fabrics, you can email me and I'll give you the weaver's contact data.
