@jacinthah.bsky.social and I were discussing #Viking Age #Scandinavian #ship #sails in a #textile context. Obviously the stripes are separate lengths of #cloth. Would it make sense to make LONG lengths of cloth and cut them as needed? Or would they have made them to the desired length?

Does anyone have information on the Viking Age coin depicting a ship with sails reefed, tied up to the top? I am not sure of it's provenance. @cmaclean.bsky.social perhaps?

Some fantastic Viking-Age or Late Norse combs from Shetland, from an old photo taken at Shetland Museum and Archives.

Talking with Yorktown Yule guests about a Jorvik, now known as York England, style saw from the #vikingage. The saw grip is made with antler and the blade is pinned on one side and pressure fut into the other. #handtools #handmade #jorvik #NordikKraft #reenactment #History #education #viking

#VikingAge food was shown and a #game, Nine Man Morris, and a lyre. Gorman Craft made the #lyre Cynthia lectured on the process of taking Viking Age Fiber to clothing and taught a workshop on creating #lucetcording /2

#Demonstration setup at VikingsCon. Society of Amateur Vikings for General Reenactment was kind to share their space with us! We discussed with the guests both hard arts of #bone and #horn work, and soft arts of #fiber to clothing. /1
