Did you know the #Vikings loved their colours in their clothing and accessories? They had to get creative about it though. This yarn was naturally dyed in a similar manner to how they would have had to do it What do you think was used to make this colour? #history #naturaldye

This yarn has been dyed using woad and oak gallnuts. The combination of those two elements provides this earthy green colour. #naturaldye #sewing #reenactment #crafts

The evidence of female warriors in the #Viking age is questionable and limited at best. No one seems to have told Þórhalla however. Meet her at the Vikingar Centre in Largs this Saturday and she'll tell you all about how she defends her home. #vikings #vikingreenactment #vikingar

Godfrid Torsteinsson, nicknamed “inn Magri” (the slender one), spent his early years in Norway. He has travelled widely around the lands trading. He has now largely ceased wandering and lives in northern England. You can meet Godfrid, this Saturday at Vikingar in Largs. #vikings
