El tablet weaving o card weaving (tejido por tablillas) es un tipo tradicional de tejido, muy popular entre los pueblos de origen germánico. Las evidencias arqueológicas más antiguas se remontan del 800 al 400 A.E.C., en tejidos encontrados en las regiones de Alemania, Suiza y Francia, una pieza importante es la llamada "banda de Hallstat"…

I am still trying my hand at different medieval crafts. So I came across Nålebinding or needle binding. Needle binding is the precursor of knitting & crocheting. With knitting & crocheting you are using loops to form a fabric. With needle binding on the other hand you are using more or less complicated knots. For
Original... Topside and Reverse (This could be Estonian or German!) I saw this pattern on line somewhere and I just had to make it. I had to carve a wider band loom to work it because the whole pattern uses 92 Threads, 46 holes and 46 slots. After I made my loom, I found I still made it too narrow. My new loom uses up to 80 Threads, so I had to drop the 6 thread borders. I like the colors. On the original you can see the 3 colors (plus white), red, turquoise and blue. It is not so hard as it looks. It helps to follow the chart row by row and then you don't have to think about the 3 different sections...it will just all fall into place. Close up with dotted border. Pulling up that side red thread to show it more. Pattern draft. Start at bottom. When you get to the top of the chart you will have one extra white row in the side patterns because the two side pick-ups do not align with the middle pick-up. My first attempt at this was so pretty that I cut it into sections and framed them. My next attempt will include the side border dots. I am looking for a closer color match and I want all 3 colors in wool. Background white threads are cotton so the piece will not stretch. As soon as I make a wider loom that is! Happy weaving!

Have you ever wondered what Vikings wore to help them survive long, cold winters? Their fabric-making technique, Nalbinding, pre-dates knitting, and creates dense and warm items which don't unravel the way knitted items do.
If I want to try out a band pattern or just weave something quickly I usually set up the warp and thread it onto my heddle at the same time. This isn’t the
Usually when a person becomes an apprentice they are given a green belt by their Laurel. Mistress Brid is different. Her apprentices are required to make their own belts. I used this challenge as an opportunity to explore the technique of sprang. Sprang is an extremely old weaving technique. Fabric is made by manipulating warp threads. There are no weft threads. Artifacts made by using this technique have been found in Scandinavia, Peru, England, and Egypt, among other places. It can be used to make a simple cap or a complex pictorial. The act of weaving sprang results in a mirror image being formed at the bottom of the warp as the threads are manipulated at the top of the warp. For my first belt I spun 2 shades of green wool, one S-spun, the other Z-spun. Every 5 rows I switched direction ( S-twist/Z-twist) in order to control the natural tendency to curl. This is the same technique that was used for the Arden Mose cap, dating from the Bronze Age. I learned that sprang tends to untwist the fibers. Due to the length of the belt, I had to be very careful by the time I reached the center. The results of my first belt left me wanting to try other weaving patterns. This time I spun a tighter twist. For my second belt I tried a more complex pattern - experimenting with holes, and an argyle pattern that results in a flat fabric. This pattern also results in less stretch than the first pattern. I was very pleased with this belt. The argyle pattern is difficult to see because of the single color yarn. Here is a photo of another piece I made using the same pattern.

Wie hier versprochen nun eine Anleitung, wie man mit Hilfe der Nadel die Stickgröße variieren/verkleinern kann. Gerade bei dünnen Garnen ist das eine gute Möglichkeit, dennoch mit Stichen ohne viel Verschlingungen (z.B. dem Oslo-Stich) ein schönes Ergebnis zu bekommen. Man braucht nur eben viel länger, als mit dicker Wolle, da die Stiche mit der Größe auch an Höhe verlieren. Sofern man aber keine all zu dicken und gleichzeitig etwas "löchrige" Socken oder Mützen mag, ist dies genau das Richtige :) Hier sieht man links die Größe des Oslo-Stichs, den ich auf dem Daumen gearbeitet habe und rechts ist der Oslo-Stich noch auf der Nadel nachgezogen worden. Das Garn hat etwa die Stärke von 6-fädiger Sockenwolle und lässt sich nicht viel mehr komprimieren aber der Stich ist dennoch etwa um 1/3 kleiner und vor allem dichter geworden. Am Anfang sitzt die Daumenschlaufe genauso auf dem Daumen, wie sonst auch. Es wird in die hintere Schlaufe eingestochen gedreht... ..und unter der Daumenschlaufe und dem Arbeitsfaden entlang gestochen. Soweit wie gehabt. Nun kommt das, was viele vielleicht erst etwas erschrecken wird. Man lässt die alte Daumenschlaufe von der Nadel rutschen, damit sie zur neuen Hinteren Schlaufe werden kann ( hier mit neue Schlaufe beschrieben). Als nächstes zieht man mit Gefühl am Arbeitsfaden und lässt somit die neue Schlaufe auf der Nadel schrumpfen. Zieht nicht zu fest, sonst rutschen die Schlaufen später schlecht über das Nadelende. Danach wird die Nadel durch die Schlaufen gezogen und die neue Daumenschlaufe wird mit dem Daumen "eingefangen". Wer das Ganze mal in Bewegung für den Oslo-Stich sehen möchte, hier ist ein Video dazu: Liebe Grüße, Anne

Nålbinding is how Viking Age people made hats, socks, mittens, and sieves for straining liquids more than a thousand years ago.
The Elling woman is a danish bog body and quite famous in the longhair circuit for her long, well preserved hair and complicated braided updo. I have tried recreating her style several times, but it doesn't really work so well for me. A modified, simplified version works pretty well, but not a close-to-original-recreation, no. It's not a style designed for thick or heavy hair. I visited the museum she is exhibited in, along with author-friend, engineer-friend and Mr Igor. The museum is Museum Silkeborg, located in (You guessed it) the town of Silkeborg in north western Denmark. The entry is free if you're under 18. For above 18, it's 65 kroner. Per September 1st 2019, this is about 8,7 Euro or 9,5 USD or 7,7 British pounds. The first building hosts exhibits from the stone age and almost up to modern times along with the gift shop. The second building is reached by going through the first building and hosts exhibits about the danish iron age, and a nice little cafe that makes a pretty good apple cake. (Which led to some discussion in the squad, since I was the only one not completely grossed out by sour cream on said cake. Our group consisted of me, my Swedish hubby, an Alsacian-French and a French, so... It must be a cultural thing since this is perfectly acceptable in Denmark? What do you guys think?) But most important of all: This building has two of the most well known bog bodies in the world, resting just a few meter apart just like when they were buried. All pictures should be clickable for a larger size. The iron age clothes were quite colourful! The exhibit of Mr. Igor showing off in "his" chainmail is not permanent. They had a very nice little exhibit about historical hair and beards, many of them something I recognize from the longhair circuit. Note the small combs on the black pedestal. Some of the styles are of course speculative and based on carvings in wood or stone, and not actual styles that have been found. The top left blonde updo is the Suebian knot, that I also tried recreating. I thought the complicated braids on the blonde doll to the right was a speculative reconstruction, but apparently that style has been found preserved. The Elling woman herself almost blends in with the rest of her exhibit. Only her hair sticks out from above her leather "sleeping bag". Of course the most famous part is her updo and not much else of the body is preserved. In fact the body was so damaged on discovery that the sex was unknown until the clothes showed she is a woman. The Elling woman is of course mostly famous for her hair and updo, but even that was hard to make out. I'm impressed the researchers have managed to make out exactly what was done to her hair. For me, it was hard to tell. The Elling woman died age 25-30 years old at around 360-210 BC. She was found in 1938. This is around a time period called the pre-Roman iron age or the Celtic iron age in Denmark. The names almost speak for themselves: The finds have a strong Celtic influence in style and decoration, and it's the time before the Roman iron age started influencing northern Europe. This is also a time where there have been noticeably less finds than other time periods, which combined with knowledge about climate change to a colder and more hostile climate has led to speculations of a drop in population. Of course this has also led to many theories on why so many bog bodies are from around this time: Changes in the local plant life, prey animals being affected by this and bad harvests could easily make people desperate to appease their gods. The general lack of findings from this time makes the bog bodies even more remarkable and valuable. Her hair is surprisingly thin in person. I always assumed it was a lot thicker from seeing the famous drawing of the updo structure. Of course this explains why this updo is such a "Was fun to try for the historical aspect, but doesn't work well for me" for so many fellow longhairs. And it really is: It still blows my mind that you can replicate a style someone used 2229-2379 years ago to keep her hair neat and gathered up. It is not known what her original haircolour was, since the bog dyes hair, skin and clothing over time. However, her hair is darker than the Tollund man who was found in the very same bog, close to each other and having been buried a maximum of 195 years before. The actual hairstyle is this: The crown part of her hair is gathered, swept back and braided in a English braid. At the nape, an additional 4 strands are added. All seven strands are twirled like rope to keep them separated from each other. But the seven strands are braided from the nape in bundles of two, two and three strands into a English braid. The braid is secured in a knot, but might have become messed up and damaged during the sacrifice and burial. The exact look of the original knot is not known and maybe it was more complicated than what we see today. The loose ends are gathered in two strands that are twirled around themselves and each other. The braid from the nape length on has been pulled up under the top English braid (This is surprisingly comfortable actually) and twirled around the base twice. The rest of the braid and loose strands hang down the back. But again, this might have come loose during the sacrifice and burial, and it might have been fully secured with the braid completely turned into a bun. The fact that all the strands are kept twirled separately to form a "rope" while simultaneously being fed into a three-stranded braid in bundles like this, makes me doubt she did this style herself. She must have had someone else who could actually see what they were doing, doing the twirling and braiding at the same time to create this style. Also I would think you need an extra pair of hands to help holding on to the strands or doing the twisting. Here is my own lazy/comfortable-Elling variation for comparison: (Or rather, what I could actually do with only two hands and my own braiding abilities) I haven't been able to find an accurate recreation of this style on youtube, which supports my theory that the Elling woman didn't braid this hairstyle on herself. There are some very nice variants though. And I guess the end result is close enough. But it does seem to have some symbolic or cultural value to make such a distinct seven-ish stranded braid, when a normal three stranded would be a lot easier and no one would be able to tell unless they got up close to examination it. But the most famous bog body in the museum is not the Elling woman. The museum also hosts a permanent exhibit of the most famous bog body in the world: Tollundmanden. The Tollund man lived to around 40 years old and was short for his time, at only 161 cm (5 foot 3). He was found just 40-100 meter away from the Elling woman 12 years later (Distance varies from source to source) He was hung between 405 and 384 BC, so somewhere between 24 and 195 years before the Elling woman.The reason the Tollund man is so exceptionally well preserved is that he was placed in a bog on a day where the temperature was below 4 degrees Celsius, so the bog had time to take effect before decay set in. And he is famous for a good reason. He is simply fascinating and disturbing at the same time. At least 2400 years old and you can still see his cheek stubble, wrinkles and the peaceful look on his face. Someone obviously took great care to make sure he went into the afterlife looking peaceful. I almost expected him to yawn and blink. You automatically lower your voice near him. It's uncanny.

Einen Beutel, ein Utensilo oder ähnliche Gegenstände sind recht leicht in der Herstellung und daher auch für Anfänger gut geeignet. Und man kann sie eigentlich immer gebrauchen, ob nun Zuhause, als Einkaufstüte oder auf dem Lager. Materialien: Nadel reichlich Garn (je nach Größe des Beutels etc) Geduld und Spaß ebentuell Knöpfe, Klettverschluss, Lederbänder - was einem eben so einfällt Man arbeitet im Grunde wie bei der normalen Mütze aus der Rosette (oder eben vom anderen Ende aus) so lange mit Zunahmen, bis einem die Größe gefällt, lässt dann die Zunahmen weg und nadelt munter weiter. Über Zu- und Abnahmen kann man mit der Form spielen. Angefilzter Beutel aus reiner Schurwolle mit einem Lederzugband. Wer mag kann den Beutel dann noch filzen ( bitte vorher eine Filzprobe machen), einen Tragegurt anfügen oder eben nur ein kurzes Stück genadeltes Band ( ca. 2-3 Reihen, je nach Stich) um den Beutel dann ,mit Klett oder Drückknopf versehen, als Fadenfresser am Spinnrad nutzen zu können. Anstelle von der Rosette kann man natürlich auch einen länglichen oder ovalen Anfang wählen. Der Stern markiert den Beginn, dann wird, wenn ich mich dazu entschieden habe, dass die Länge passt, durch mehrere Zunahmen "um die Kurve" gerarbeitet. Das macht man so lange, bis einem die gesamtbreite gefällt und lässt dann die Zunahmen an den Enden (!) weg. Ich hoffe, das hilft euch weiter. Wie man mit nichtfilzenden Materialien z.B. Flachs arbeitet, zeige ich euch noch. LG Anne
