Thank you for this fantastic instructional video. I have made a few now and they are beautiful.

Had a go at my first braid by following this. My finished braid is about 3mm and i got to 20cm before my eyes gave out for the evening. Very pretty but I'll need more if I'm going to use it on dress!

It's a labour of love for sure, I just did a dress for a friend and the braid took me hours, lol worth it in the end though!

I have followed you for a little while now and I’m getting the hang of the braiding. Can you do a video or do you already have videos about attaching the braids to the garments? Specifically male garments. Thank you very much. Great instructions and “easy” to follow. Great teaching voice.

Hi! Thankyou. :) That very video is coming soon. :) I have a couple more I need to make first but I'm currently writing the script for a video on where to place the cords and braids and the stitches used to attach them. :)

The sound of the bobbins dancing is soothing. What is the early period/dark ages music in your video? I thought I saw a reference, somewhere?

I have one 12 strand braiding technique up on the channel, that's the Skjoldehamn belt tutorial, my first ever video actually!

Thank you so much for this video! That soaking and pinning process is called blocking in the knitting world (and probably other fiber arts, too). Is there any evidence for the starting loop being used as a button hole, for example at the top edge of a keyhole neckline?

Oooh thankyou for that term. :) I haven't seen any evidence for using that starting loops as a buttonhole, button holes in general are pretty rare and those we have seem to be added loops of finely rolled/ folded fabric on the Eastern style tunics. I am no expert on those as so far I've focused on western viking elements. However I don't see why not if you are using a simple bead to close a tunic for example, it would be more secure than sewing on an extra little loop just for that certainly, amd if you are adding braid arpund the neckline ther ris evidence for using that added edge as part of the closure, that example involves using a fine tablet braid worked directly on the the fabric with long strands left as ties to close it, so we know they adapted other techniques as they needed them.

Thank you for this detailed instructions ❤ Is there a method safe to use in the LHE for managing the longer braids? Like maybe wrap the yarn around a nalbinding needle or just a stick? I can't imagine a viking all tangled up in threads.

As far as I can find, there are no finds that look anything like modern cording bobbins, however there is one complete find from York thought to be a tapestry bobbin, with one fragment, and that's what I'm going to use for my LHE kit. You could certainly try with nals, Ive seen people do slynging with plain sticks in the LHE but I'm not sure how practical that would be as there is no enlarged head. I'd love to hear about any solutions you find! At the moment I do tend to just to shorter cords when I'm doing demonstrations, or use fingerloop if I need to make a longer cord as it's easier to extend it!

@@WyrdKindred Thanks for the quick answer! The find you mentioned sounds interesting and I will look for this. At the moment I use little cardboard rectangles with two opposite cutouts and tie the same knot as you do. I want to try making these out of wood or bone. I hope this is understandable without a picture. The Swedish historical museum shows these so I think they should be pretty accurate.
