Issue 28 (June 2001) of the Complex Weavers Medieval Textiles Study Group newsletter. It includes Jacqueline James's account of weaving a red madder-dyed 2/2 twill wall hanging for the Jorvik Viking Centre, modeled on a Coppergate textile, and Nancy McKenna's article on medieval color-and-weave (plaid) textiles with drawdowns of London finds. Charles Kightly surveys textile wall hangings in late medieval York wills and inventories (tapestries, says, painted cloths, embroidered hangings, prices, hanging methods). Other items cover woad pigment, a Renaissance cheese, and Carolyn Priest-Dorman's article on Icelandic shaggy supplementary-weft pile cloaks, with a weaving reconstruction, bibliography and a catalogue of finds.
