Reproduction of the band from Birka BJ735. The warp is mostly silk. I’ve also used some linen in areas where the silk would not be seen (as was done historically). The primary weft is also linen, and the supplemental weft are dual strands of 26 gauge silver wire. Lady Dagny Sveinsdottir, Mordenvale
