Remarks
In the Iron Age the sheep had not only brown wool, but fair wool as well. It was possible to dye this by means of vegetable colours. By weaving, textiles were produced with an increasing number of threads per cm, over the centuries. Some were fulled, (washed in urine), which resulted in shrinking. Then it might have been scraped. Two ways of making the textile more warm and soft. Check patterned textiles and the fashion with blouse and skirt were typical Northern European. Woven ribbons were used in different ways. How to produce them is shown in Boye’s book. The production of the girl’s bonnet (a net) is well described in Bonnier’s dictionary, and in Hald’s book, page 25 and 254.
The textiles of the display are made by power loom, and dyed in a modern way. The clothing is handmade with stitches as used in Celtic Iron Age. (Hald, p. 284).
