This piece of Viking Age cloth from the Lendbreen pass has some of the original blue colour preserved. And even better: One of the edges has preserved knotted tassels. This is a very rare detail on Viking Age textile, and the only example from our melting mountain ice.

Lendbreen, August 4th 2011. We discovered a large piece of textile in a hollow in the scree, close to the melting ice.

From our archives comes this very rare needlework instruction book, with samples of sewing, darning, embroidery, knitting, and miniature clothing, used at the Female Model school in Kildare Place, Dublin. The cover is inscribed "Sarah Darby 1837"

In the 2nd century BC a woman was placed in a bog in Huldremosen, Denmark. When her remains were found her clothing was in remarkable condition. Yes these clothes are over 2000 years old but the peat gave them this brownish colour.

I’ve been dyeing with madder (Rubia tinctoria). The roots are one of the oldest known dyes and they can dye a range of warmer shades from pink and coral through to deep red and purple. 1/2

Westminster Abbey, where the coronation of King Charles III will take place this year. The throne used for every coronation since 1308, built to hold the stone of scone. The stone of scone, or stone of destiny, is a symbol of Scotland's monarchy.

I’ll miss the laughingstock that was the Speaker of the House vote 2023.


So sad. I used to love American Girl books/dolls. Why can’t they teach girls that it’s okay to have masculine qualities and still be a girl? There are so many tomboys at the age this book is marketed to. They will just confuse girls with these statements. I hope it’s not true.

American Girl: “If you haven't gone thru puberty, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body's changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity.” Thus the Left smashes another innocent childhood joy. H/t ⁦@bethanyshondarkdailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

amazing medieval words you should definitely add to your vocabulary, a thread:


Oof

Neither of my children are vaccinated against anything. Perplexing when parents to children that are repeatedly sick and have various autoimmune deficiencies and allergies, try to explain to me why I made the wrong decision for my perfectly healthy kids.
