Flax, weights and swords: Recreating weaving with the warp weighted loom
New project
The TRiVAL project has begun an exciting new subproject.
The aim is to test the impacts of weaving tools on textiles made of flax fibers. Weaver Marie Wallenberg will be recreating a Viking Age textile find, trying out different weaving swords and loom weights.
The conclusion of this project might change our understanding of the use of loom weights, other preparation tools, and flax fibers.
