The [url="http://www.hembygd.se/index.asp?DocID=1587"]Kyrkås tapestry[/url] is a double weave, one layer in red and black plaid wool the other in white linen.
The [url="http://www.overhogdal.se/english1/tapestry-e.htm"]Överhogdal tapestry[/url], also seen
[url="http://web.telia.com/~u60108224/html/bilder_vavarna_4.html"]here[/url], is made in soumak technique and lends itself well to embroidery.
Both tapestries are dated between 900-1100. Though now in Sweden they were probably made elsewhere, if only because that part belonged to Norway during the Viking age.Statistik: Postat av Anette — 16 november 2006, 21:42
