Hello. I am interested in the Anglo-Saxon period approx 8th/9th C. I know
less than nothing & would greatly appreciate any assistance.
I believe it is easier to begin well than to have to go back & do things
over after discovering that one has everything wrong.
The books available at the local library hale from the 30's. Suggestions?
Also, I hope to do some dye projects this summer & would like your thoughts
on materials... I'm familiar w/ where to purchase natural dyestuffs like
indigo, madder, etc, but am not sure of the safety precautions, nor exactly
what would be available to the people in that period.
Woad is a noxious weed here in northeastern Nevada & is prohibited by law.
[to grow, not to use] I believe they have a woad warrior thingie going
on... pulling the plants & leaving them on the ground. If I were to go on
this eradication jaunt, would the plants be useful for dyeing?
What is the difference between a Viking tent & a geteld? [how is that
pronounced, anyway? w/ a "g" or a "y" sound?]
I recognized Carolyn Priest-Dornan's name [did I get it right?] from a
couple of weaving lists & from her excellent web site.
I spin & weave, but have hesitated to get involved in "natural" dyeing due
to health concerns - I'm very chemically sensitive. However, I've tho't
about giving it a go this summer, wearing suitable protective gear.
As for clothing, camp gear, crafts [I want to learn naalbinding & sprang &
WW weaving], I am open to suggestions & eager to learn.
Yrs, Jennifer
