Without having access to this assembly of Saxon brooches, I could not have reconstructed Grave 68 from Winterton, North Lincolnshire. (or by using research from fellow archaeologists come up with these quirky fabric samples)

Heck, not just for work. Copies of historical objects find their way into regular household use in our home! I bought the knife seen here, to cut our home made Panis Quadratus from a French reenactor and blacksmith, who created it from drawings of excavated examples.

So what fabrics did the Anglo Saxons use? what were they made of? What did they feel like? What were they used for? "Washing labels" explain all. Fabric samples for @northlincsmuseum.bsky.social #HiddenValleys exhibition

Always a challenge, one I love to tackle, how to show what lie beneath, in this case North Lincolnshire, Put the Magnetic finds into the right context/layer, hours of fun.
