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

@northlincsmuseum.bsky.social wonderful exhibition #hiddenvalleys preview night last night, opens today until May. It was great to have the opportunity to produce the reconstruction artwork. Some of the most beautiful Saxon jewellery I have had chance to handle
