Reenactment inspires me) Paper, colored pencils.
In the remote Irish woods, Cellach prepares a fortress for an impending attack by a Viking war party. Unbeknown to Cellach, his young nephew Brendan, who has no taste for battle, works secretly as an apprentice in the scriptorium of the local monastery, learning the ancient art of calligraphy. As the Vikings approach, revered illuminator Aidan arrives at the monastery and recruits Brendan to complete a series of dangerous, magical tasks…
Viking were pretty hardcore when it came to hygiene, at least in their time. A common tale told to young Vikings war of Naglfar, the corpse ship made entirely of the fingernails and toenails of the dead.

Scandinavia is famous for the Vikings. I don't really know if we should be proud or ashamed of them.

War of the vikings
A battle begins in Kattegat, and someone in the Viking camp meets a bloody end.
The Yarn Behind the Yarn A long time ago (circa 800 A.D.) the Vikings arrived on the shores of the Hebrides in long boats, bringing with them their northern short-tailed sheep. In time they settled, their long boats built for speed and long sea voyages were adapted for inter-island passage and became the Hebridean galley or Birlinn. The Hebrideans saw an opportunity in the Birlinn and adopted it as their battle craft, waging war on the Vikings and in 1158 the dynasty of the Lord of the Isles began. The Vikings departed the Hebrides soon after but they left behind their genes, Birlinn boat design and their sheep. In time this primitive and hardy Norse sheep evolved, travelled a bit and inter-bred, resulting in the Hebridean sheep that we rear on our croft at Sunhill today. The Birlinn Yarn company is a spin-off from Sunhill. We are proud of the Norse and Hebridean heritage bred into our sheep. Hence, we twine this creative yarn into everything we do.
