Weave Along with Elewys - Episode 1: The Oseberg Weave

The first in a series on how to do tablet weaving, including warping on an inkle loom, threading cards, reading the pattern, turning the cards, and advancing the warp. This series starts with an easy period pattern from 834 AD, found in the Oseberg dig. A large burial mound was discovered at the Oseberg farm near Tønsberg in Vestfold county, Norway. The ship and some of its contents are displayed at the Viking Ship Museum at Bygdøy, Oslo. Among its finds were a loom (commonly called the Oseberg loom), weaving tablets, and a work in progress (known as 34D), as well as this silk piece. The original measured only 5 mm wide–a diminutive little weave–but we’ll do ours in a larger cotton rug warp for this demonstration; finished piece measures about 9 mm. The pattern can be found on my blog: _______________________________________________________ Things people ask me about (affiliate links): Amazon Store Page (has b
