Historisch Weefatelier
Добавлен 30 сен 2023
Hey! My name is Iris Verhoeven, a historical textile nerd from the Netherlands.
In 2016 I saw someone at a medieval re-enactment event demonstrating tabletweaving. I didn't know what it was, what the technique was or what it was called. But that's what I wanted to learn! After a lot of self-study with a lot of trial and error, I taught myself to make small bands with tabletweaving. After 6 years my fingers started itching for more.
The love for textiles was born.
I took the plunge and bought a loom with shafts and treadles. Floor loom weaving is completely different from tabletweaving! But working with yarn is a passion, so I was very curious whether I would manage to learn this.
I soon managed to weave textiles. This was amazing! My interest has grown enormously towards archaeological textiles. Recreating fabrics from the distant past, researching old customs and habits to produce these fabrics and sharing my acquired knowledge of this has now become a big passion in life.

Brocade Tabletweaving - how to
A small video of me demonstrating how to weave the brocading technique in tabletweaving.
The pattern used is from Kent, England and dates from the 6th century.
In a womans grave in the town of Sarre, they found many items, including gold strip which indicated it had been used for tabletweaving. The textile itself was completely perished, but the little dents on the gold strip indicate what the pattern must have looked like. The gold strip was found near the woman's right wrist, which tells us might've been a hem on a sleeve or a bracelt.
Materials used:
- 60/2 silk sewing thread from OliverTwistsFibers on Etsy
- Gold 22k thread wound on a cotton core from Tied to History
- wooden tabletweavin...
