Textile Resources for the Re-enactor

Welcome to my filing cabinet! Here you will find links to some articles, bibliographies, and weaving drafts I have produced on the subject of Western textile history that may be of interest to Dark Ages, medieval, and Renaissance re-enactors. Some of these are reprinted from various group newsletters inside and outside the re-enactor community; others are teaching aids from classes I have taught. Now that the website's been here over five years, though, many of the works here have been produced specifically for web publication. All of them are copyright © by me, Carolyn Priest-Dorman.

As a Viking Age re-enactor I am most often known as Þóra Sharptooth, a tenth-century steader from the area near Jorvík in the Danelaw. However, my interest in textiles is by no means limited to Vikings or the so-called Dark Ages.
