Quote:Is tablet weave documentable? I read that they are exclusively tapestry-woven, much to my disappointment.

Sadly, not that I know of. As I understand it both integral tapestry woven and applique embroidery strips were used (D'Amato, Osprey MAA 425), but not tablet weave as we have it. Sad

For me, tablet weave is just an affordable, hand made alternative to machine made braids, having already ruled out hand embroidery or integral weaving due to availability & cost. I know tablet weaving was used in the Saxon period to braid decorative strips into garments whilst on the warp-weighted loom (Owen-Crocker, Dress in Anglo-Saxon England 1986) & seems to approach the more regular geometric tapesty weaves.

Both MacDowall and Sumner (Osprey WAR 15 and MAA 390) refer to the removal and reuse of integral segmenta, so I'm hoping the end result would sometimes look similar. My second best tunic, for wearing under armour & for mucky jobs, will have plain cloth segmenta which I hope to embroider (roughly!) with some simple designs. Big Grin
