Work in progress on a pale yellow, weld-dyed fine silk mesh hairnet based on extant fragments in the collection of the Museum of Ireland, Dublin. A flat rectangular shape, headscarf sized textile
A close up of the previous along with the netting tools: shuttle and gauge
In progress. A (speculative) c9/10thC headcovering based on written descriptions I’ve read, of fragments at National Museum of Ireland - basically a Viking hairnet! On my list to visit and see in person, but I have other museum visits to make first #silkwork #silkewoman #historictextiles #vikings

When @crossmancrafts announced that he needed some sexy braids to accompany his beautiful gold and silver leaf pomanders (sun,moon,equinox) I couldn’t resist their glittery gorgeousness let alone the unlimited double-entendres they offer! 🤭 #grenedorge #fingerloopbraiding #historictextiles #silk
