Sometimes, when I'm weaving, I really feel the age of this craft and a connection back in time.

This band is a great example of that. This is a reconstruction of one of the Hallstatt bands (sometimes called HallTex 123). This was found in a salt mine in Hallstatt, Austria and is between 2500 - 2800 years old.

The original was woven of wool and horsehair, my one is woven from mercerised cotton. But the pattern is the same. There's something about recreating something ancient that really speaks to me.

This band (and some others) will be added to our stock soon!

This is still tablet weaving, but the cards are all threaded the same way and always move in the same direction twice. Doubleface weaving like this creates a different texture to the band due to the frequent changes in direction. It's great for weaving messages!

The Freeborn value bright, vibrant colours - especially the colours of flames

It's Sigehold's Feast of Storms this weekend, an Empire player event set in the northern territory of Hahnmark - and a perfect excuse to get the really kit out.

I really wanted to lean into the colours of flame and sumptuous fabrics here
- Red and yellow layers in fine cotton lawn and extensively trimmed on all hems form the base and midlayers of this costume
- Brass buttons with selfmade bias loops close the mid-layer.
- The top layer is made of orange and gold brocade silk, lined with a lightweight gold satin.
- Red, raw silk hood to complete the look and keep the silhouette consistent for the character

Heraldry is important to knights, and this holds true even if the world is a blasted wasteland!

What better way to display your heraldry than a boiler suit and matching shield cover?

The big loom has been getting a lot of love recently as I've been weaving some wide bands

How big is big? Well...

You can see it here next to my Schatt inkle loom, which is dwarfed in comparison.

It's large and unweildy, but it's great for long or wide bands.

Watch this space to see what we've been weaving on it!

Even the most intrepid Knights must proceed with care in the Hot Zone.. Who knows what awaits in the dark corners? What will they find in the tomb of the Pharoah?

The Knights of the Realm stride bravely through the ruins of the fabled Camelot, Avonlon, where the Thunderball fell.

Their journey takes them onwards now, to WirrAn and the tomb of the Falcon of Merseyside, the Pharoah. What horrors of the Before await them in the darkest dungeon?

Glass sometimes takes on the mantle of a kohan.

The kohan find such joy in battle that they cannot give it up. They fight for the joy of battle, flinging themselves into combat with a blood-thirsty relish.

I spent yesterday evening looking for the yarn I need to finish the band on my big loom. I couldn't find it anywhere.

Because I'd put it inside a bigger, empty tube and then put pens in it. Of course!
