Weave Along with Elewys, Ep. 12: Mammen 10th Century

10th century woven piece from Mammen, Denmark. This piece was found in a burial chamber in the mid 1800s and included a number of luxury pieces. This woven band included half a dozen motifs--this is one of them. This pattern is another lovely, double-sided, skip-hole weave.

Yarns:
Maysville Carpet Warp, which can be found at several different weaving supply places (I often use WEBS at www.yarn.com). It comes in more than 70 colors on an 800 yard spool for about $9, so it can be used in a number of projects and the price is very reasonable.

20/2 or 60/2 silk from Eowyn de Weaver on Etsy. Each cone is $30 and comes in 18 different colors. There are also small 100 yard spools that run $5 each and comes in more than 2 dozen colors.

Pearl cotton, size 8, which can be found is most craft stores in a bunch of colors.

Sewing:
I use 100% linen from Linen-Store.com in the IL019 weight for my tunics. The quality of their linen is very good, their prices are very reasonable and shipping is fast! Use "ILOVELINEN" in the discount code for an additional 7% off!

Cards:
2 1/2" wide (63 mm) made on a 3D printer, a pattern designed by my husband. Free downloadable patterns of other tablets are available on Thingiverse (this one is not my pattern--we are still working the kinks out of the design but these cards are Oseberg reproductions: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:180...)

3 1/4" cards from Schacht Spindle Company, which run $8 for 25 cards. I love these because they are colored on the edges and they are thin but very durable. Similar cards are made by Lacis but without the colored edges.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
