The front cover shows a reconstruction of a prehistoric loom. It is an
upright type, the warp being tensioned by weights of fired clay or stone.
The incline of the loom was used to produce the lease. In addition to
simple linen patterns (two-harness), such a loom was capable of producing
more sophisticated of the four-harness type, e.g. twills.
Perhaps the earliest Danish sample of four-harness twill is the Huldremose
find for which the pattern is described in this latest CUM weaving book.
CUM
In our latest CUM
weaving book we have chosen to display the new design of our craftsmen against the
background of Lejre, a reconstructed prehistoric settlement near Roskilde.
Our choice was well considered.The manufacture of textiles is after all an acient occupation —
indeed some
people claim that it was not until man had learned to make clothing for himself that civilisation really com-
menced.
Denmark is between prehistoric and modern weaving because
particularly fortunate in having a direct parallel
no where else in Europe have climate and conditions combined to preserve so many fine fabrics from
soil
man's earliest centuries.We therefore start with a brief look at the ancient history of weaving, with instruc-
tions on how with modern materials we can copy some of the most beautiful and practical garments from
Danish prehistory.
When man began to settle, cultivate the land and keep herds of animals, weaving developed in direct relation
to his sheep and flax production. Wool was carded by hand and spun into threads by means of a primitive
spindle comprising a straight stick weighted at one end with something heavy such as a lump of clay or
perforated stone. The scoured yarn was then used either in its natural shades or dyed with plant coloring.
The National Museum in Copenhagen houses samples of skirts, embroidered blouses, capes, shawls, coats,
bonnets, etc., from the Danish bronze and iron ages. These beat witness not only to changing fashions even
in those days but also to increasing knowledge of different forms and techniques of weaving.
