Plantdying Wool Fabric In Njardarheimr Viking Village

This past week I’ve had the a absolutely pleasure of living in the Viking village of Njardarheimr in Gudvangen, Norway. As a relative beginner but passionate crafter I hope you enjoy coming along on this journey with me. I’m trying the best I can with the means available to me to create inspired by the norsemen way of life during the Viking age of Scandinavia. This isn’t meant as facts but rather a look into the journey of a beginners failures and success. I found the best way to combat the cold was to delve into a craft that allowed me to spend my time tending to a fire, as well as adding some color to my clothing for summer. I plant dyed two 2 meter pieces of the beautifully thin and soft wool muslin that you can find at www.NorneWoven.com using birch leafs that has been hung up to dry since last fall. After boiling the leafs in water over the fire I removed the leafs for a more even result and added the already soaked fabric. I’m far from an expert when it comes to plantdying, in fact this was my first attempt over an open fire and in true Viking manner. Needles to say I’m quite pleased with the mossy green color o achieved, unevenness and all. The next project will be cutting and sewing a new summer dress. This fabric is thin and breathable, it’s great for a summer dress to wick away moisture to keep you cool as well as perfect for an inner layer in the colder months to protect your skin from the itchier outer layers and to help keep you warm. I’m actually wearing a dress that I’ve previously dyed with madder root as an inner layer front the very same wool in this video. Building layers was definitely key on this day of -7 Celsius to help keep me warm and so I could easily take off my square cloak when it was time to rinse the fabric, i was also very grateful for my skjoldehamn hood this past week as-well. Allowing me to stay warm and still have full mobility. Both are piece that I’ve created in collaboration with @LykosLeather and are available at www.lykosleather.com in the “Viking Age Clothing” section.
