I was wondering if anyone could provide me with information or links on Roman techniques for sewing, spinning wool or anything else related to working with textiles. I did a search on the site but didn't come up with much.
Oh, and thank you for adding this beginners section. I was worrying about posting stupid questions in any of the other sections

Just what I need to do the hems on my tunic! :lol: At the moment they have invisible but unauthentic stitching!

Gaius from what I understand any hem is incorrect for a tunic.
