> What kinds of fibers would the scraelings have had to weave with? Strips of leather? Strips of bunny fur? Some American native tribe wove of strips of bunny fur, but I don't remember who or when.
>so what would they have made clothes and blankets out of? The Mexican natives (Aztec, Maya, etc.), and those south of them (Inca), wove of something like wool - goat? mountain sheep? - pre European conquest. Examples survive in museums. The Northwest Coast natives also wove, but I don't know when they started and if it was only after they got European wool. The American Southwest natives did too, same date/supply question. -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- “The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.” -William Gibson -- _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
