Broderi från vikingatid, Embroidery from the Viking Age



I have been a little secret about a project I did last summer, but now I can finally tell you about it.
I was given an assignment by Annika Larsson to embroider a collar from Viking period. It is not a reconstruction, but we have been using similar fabrics also yarns, which we have access to today. Silver thread used in the origin embroidery would be too costly to produce or buy today, also silk fabric is bought but given the right binding also density.
However we got very interesting answers to some questions, it has been a long and very rewarding procces. In a year there as a book, that's about all find from the Viking boat graves in Valsgärde.
But if you are interested then enter also read the report, or only parts of it, me can be found on Project 7
