I can do just about any craft with string, except knitting and Anglo-Saxons did not knit. Over the years I have made as many of the textile tools as I can find research. I have made a warp weighted loom and all of the equipment that is needed to make it work. \u00a0I have learned to make needles and taught at Pennsic. Most of my tools are made with modern equipment, but perform as they would in period. I do not have the patients to perfect my woodworking skills to the quality I would need to make what I see in a picture or read in an archaeological report. At times I have been pleasantly surprised that a\u00a0period construction technique is quicker or it works better.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_740\" style=\"width: 279px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-740\" class=\"wp-image-740 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/kaleeb.galtham.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3371_std-269x300.jpg\" alt=\"img_3371_std\" width=\"269\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaleeb.galtham.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3371_std-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/kaleeb.galtham.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3371_std-134x150.jpg 134w, https:\/\/kaleeb.galtham.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/img_3371_std.jpg 537w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-740\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oseberg Rotating Swift.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_747\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-747\" class=\"wp-image-747\" src=\"https:\/\/kaleeb.galtham.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/181387-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"181387\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaleeb.galtham.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/181387-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kaleeb.galtham.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/181387-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kaleeb.galtham.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/181387.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-747\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Niddy Noddy, loom weights and ironing board<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I made an Oseburg Rotating Swift (well I have made a total of 4.)
