ArchaeoWeaverLots of little dragon heads: This tablet woven trim is inspired by a 10th century textile fragment from Dublin. It is not a faithful reconstruction of the original. While the original is woven in brocade technique, this trim has been woven with 2 threads per tablet. It resembles the motive pretty well, though: double dragon heads, hence called Dublin Dragons. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tabletweaving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tabletweaving</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/brettchenweben" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brettchenweben</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Wikinger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikinger</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/viking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#viking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mittelalter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mittelalter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medieval</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/reenactment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reenactment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/weben" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weben</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/weaving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weaving</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/earlymedieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earlymedieval</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/livinghistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#livinghistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dragon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dragon</a>
