I agree with Asa, I wouldn't really use for Norse. I do have it on order because I do make that period of clothing. I also already have Woven into the Earth and this is pretty much a companion book to that I think. This is how David Brown describes it
"This volume begins with a short introduction by Else Ostergàrd to the amazing finds of garments from the Norse settlement of Herjolfnes in Greenland. It then features chapters on technique - production of the thread, dyeing, weaving techniques, cutting and sewing - by Anna Norgàrd. Also included are measurements and drawings of garments, hoods, and stockings, with sewing instructions, by Lilli Fransen. A practical guide to making your own Norse garment! 200p, illus. (Aarhus University Press 2009)"
