N2 - The aim of this article is to shed light on the research and travels of the pioneering Danish textile researcher Margrethe Hald regarding the rare and ancient warping technique known as ‘tubular loom’. Retracing Hald’s steps on her quest for the tubular loom from the study of Danish bog finds over Egyptian textile remains to surviving weaving traditions in Syria and South America. Hald’s method of combining archaeology, ethnology, textile craft, and art history in her research created new understandings of the past and present textile traditions and paved the way for mod-ern interdisciplinary research. Through revisiting Hald’s published and unpublished work on the subject, as well as letters and notes, the article demonstrates how archival studies can heighten our understanding of the work carried out by early textile researchers.
