Bayeux Tapestry Recreation Project Update Two (it doesn't fit on the frame!!)

Thanks a Lot!!!!see you!!

Can’t wait for this next video. Will answer my question about how they put the design on the ground fabric. Or at the very least offer me some theories as to how it might have been done.

I love seeing your updates. As a spinner and weaver, I am interested in knowing the sett of the ground fabric and the grist of the thread you are using. I have not been able to find sources (but I am away from home and my library) describing both on the original. Also, has a micron analysis been done of the wool fibers on the original? I would look forward to hearing this in a future update!

Experimental archeology! Can you imagine the original embroiderers having to hand make the frames and ENOUGH frames for all the women chosen to do the work? There are so many tiny details folks don’t consider; a broken needle, not enough wool, having enough light to embroider, sore necks and backs, poor eyesight, seating for the embroiderers, and a thousand other things I haven’t considered.

Hope your men are able to construct arms long enough for your frame.
