Anglo-Saxon Tablet Weaving By John Mullarkey
Anglo-Saxon Tablet Weaving
by John Mullarkey
Come learn how Anglo-Saxons wove with tablets more than a thousand years ago. Bands originating in the fifth and sixth centuries A.D. were woven using this very specific technique, which differs from the way we weave with tablets today. Although it's similar to threaded-in patterns in the way tablets are set up, the weaving produces a thicker, stronger--and reversible--band that is perfect for bag straps or belts. You'll learn to set up your tablets and then you'll weave a band using this technique. If you're a tablet weaver, you'll want to add this style to your repertoire.
