Wow. Just wow. Had no idea how much work went into all these types of fabrics.

This video is a blessing of the RU-vid algorithm. I'm a history student myself and do study medieval clothing in my spare time. (Also interested in the Alamanni, so same time periode). I really appreciate the added pictues and video clips that one does not always find in papers. It adds a lot to the obtained knowledge. And it makes it more approachable. And I'm really thankful for adding a literature list and including the links. (So much more ti read now ~✨️) I hope more peole will find this video, as it is very well researched and presented. And I also really appreciate that you mentioned that the middle ages were very colourful. One of my professors always needs to say in his lectures for the first semster students that they must forget the image of "the dark ages" because so many people still believe that 😅

In Exodus 28:39 in the Bible, there is a description of the fabric used in the priest's garments. Many translations use the term "checker work, or checkered," for the fine linen used in the fabric, which seems to indicate that in ancient times, people were using different weaving techniques. This was a very interesting video. Thank you for producing it!

Your knowledge is commendable and I appreciate you very much for sharing it. I’ve traced my genealogy back to 1280 Belgium (well, more properly Ghent, and a few other nearby areas, Flanders), so I merely make the guess that some of my ancestors lived in this area during your time frame too. The greatest thing I found was in 1360 an ancestor is documented as a cloth merchant in Ghent. So I take that to mean that my lifetime (50+ years) of sewing and love of fabrics must be genetic. Or at least to explain my fabric stash that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. So far my garb has been based on various personas from 1300 to 1480s but now I feel comfortable creating something much earlier, thanks to you doing the research for me and showing wonderful examples and explanations in your videos, which I truly appreciate. Thank you for what you do. I’m so happy to have found your videos and can’t wait to see what you do next. Thank you.

@LynnaeaEmber Год назад

Very interesting. I would like to see more videos about fabric and dress from history. I was introduced to weaving when I was at university working on my fine arts degree in painting. We had to take a number of classes in other arts, so I chose fibers for one of them. Weaving was something I didn't become good at but I developed a respect towards hand weavers down through the ages. Please keep these videos coming. Maybe they will inspire me to try weaving again.

@1aliveandwell Год назад

Recall reading about energized yarns, singles woven to cause it to gather into pleats depending on how it was spin and woven (In Handwoven and Spin-Off magazines).

Exactly the kind of information I love to find as I begin my deep dive into all things Merovingian (NOT including The Matrix). Thank you!

Ok so obviously my range of interests completely befuddles the great algorithm because mostly I get the same stuff in my feed over and over…..and over, and over…. But, every now and then a gem like this pops up. The last one was a wonderful video on recreating Minoan clothing……yes!! This was great. I love learning about ancient textiles, their creation and the roles of women in the development of textile production.

@leisongivangomo4478 Год назад

Excellent video! 👏 Love the broken diamond twill! The colour was also exquisite 😃

@hkeeler8813 Год назад

Allot of content. So strange i have not heard of The Merovingian people before. I'm 57 I have spent most of my life knitting and sewing of various techniques. Also quite a collection of books,magazines and patterns. Much of it from my mum. Even at school these people were not mentioned. Thankyou for this interesting video. We never stop learning. Off to find out more. X

I have found that I can often get a nice green dye by using a normal 'yellow' dye plant source, but mordanting with copper instead of alum.

@VeretenoVids Год назад

Very interesting! I'm just getting into weaving and I'm taking a deep dive into historical fabrics. Also equally interesting to this language nerd is your pronunciation of "textile." I assume it's a regional pronunciation that' I've simply not heard and I'm curious to learn because language is also fascinating.

@suviasletters Год назад

You can do it!

@catmintable 11 месяцев назад

Agreed, very interesting. I am also interested to find out what weaves came out of Africa with baskets, shawls/fabrics when humans migrated over the many years. I guess that would apply to fabric sources (animal and plant) and dyes as well. Thanks for doing this video.

@suviasletters 10 месяцев назад

I don’t know much about African textiles but maybe I can find an expert and have chat in a video.

I have the most fabulous book on the textiles found in the Merovingian Royal graves. I visited an exhibition near Paris.

@@suviasletters ‘Les Trésors Mérovingiens de la Basilique de Saint Denis’ Michel Fleury and Albert France-Lanord Editeur Gerard Klopp. It is beautifully illustrated, with English as well as French text. It is a very large book, weighing 10 kilogrammes. Well worth the effort if you can get your hands on it.

@catrinblack8097 11 месяцев назад

That is a nice and clear presentation. I just want to add that the fabrics that you say the elite had were not for the elite but those who cared for nature, the woods and the animals, water etc. The idea or assumption or explanation that society is ordered in a hierarchical way with an elit class that wore the best is very dum. That idea -elite has the best- changed society from a custodian caring mother nurturing world, to the bastard selfish frightening version we are forced to live in today.

@dawsie 11 месяцев назад

I have no understanding as to the issue of the sound as I have just listen to this and found nothing wrong, I have noticed in the past when I have had an issue with both sound or viewing it was down to the wi-fi speed causing all of the problems, when this happens I tag the file to my private folder of RU-vid for to be played back at a later when it’s a different time slot a few days latter, in most cases it could be the number of people who are watching the video and thus this can cause a play back issue. I hope this helps if and when you have a similar issue in the future 🤗
